church's tune requires that i go in and his website says 700 dollars. LA

delicious' is 375 from the get go, 1 remote logging review included and if need be can drive down to SD. I'm located in OC kinda dead center of both.

so... nobody with DT's flash and go and this kit care to share any more info? not just that its great, or it sucks, or whatever generic answer. The guy who previously said his SD tune was more drivable and smoother than his hybrid/and pure maf tune peaked my interest a bit more too.

Hey, you got your JRSC. Congratulations!

I think mine with SC does feel the same way - not as strong as stock at low RPMs. I cannot tell for sure, as I haven't driven stock since last September, but that was my original feeling.

Anyway, as I already wrote in PM, I remember before having the SC I almost didn't use the 1st gear - it was spinning very quickly, and I had to switch to 2nd almost immediately. Now I go WOT from the stop, and it takes about 3-4 seconds until I have to switch to 2nd. Mine is AT, probably this adds something to that behavior as well: I cannot pre-build revs, so it starts moving in gear almost from 0. It does go very well after about 3000 RPM, but before that it feels a bit sluggish.

I'm blaming that slight parasitic load, which SC adds by being driven by the engine via the belt, but maybe I should look for a custom tune to improve this.

Thanks. It was the air guides. That says a lot about the JRSC if the hardest obstacle by far for me was fitting the bumper.

I'm also waiting for those who have the DT Flash n Go tune with and without flex fuel to chime in. I'd like to see some independent dynos and hear more about experience/drivability.

JRSC with upgraded MAP, Tomei EL/Invidia hi-flow cat FP/Invidia Q300, etc. Few months on Delicious FNG tune, no flex. Daily driver + 8 track days + 2 LRP AX days on the tune. Very happy with the @DeliciousTuning tune. Slight hesitation on sudden on/off gas application at low 2-3k RPMs but nothing abrupt and doesn't bother me. Bill knows about it and update is already being tested. Didn't log but AFRs look good and power delivery is strong. No dyno yet.

haha thanks alpax! yes I feel the same way. 3000rpm-4000rpm is okay, and everything above is good. below 3000 rpm though it feels like a downgrade, which is very dissapointing IMO. it is probably the paraistic load. I too hope to improve this with a custom tune. If it can't be improved via a tune I'll be quite dissapointed with my choice. All I want is stock feeling at those low rpms; but the engine seems less willing to rev, less sensitive to throttle input, and feels like it has less torque down low than it did before.

Its possible this is the way it is but I wouldn't throw in the towel until you have spent time tuning. I did custom remote tuning for my name car. We are talking small changes in ponies here but without a doubt Sig. Changes in driving behavior from throttle sensitivity to smoothness of acceleration.

Oil Cooler kits ship in separate boxes. In this case, your supercharger system probably came up ready to ship and shipped before your oil cooler.

Congrats on your new systems!

Any update on the ecutek kits?

Install and tune complete still have a bit of TQ dip with the header
like others have said this is the way it should come from the factory

Was wondering if you could provide some more info? Exhaust setup what tune Thanks! Sorry i have looked back into previous pages to see if i can find this info but i couldn't. Im just waiting on my EcuTek to install. How do you like it so far? Im debating if i should keep the CARB tune or get the Delicious f&g tune.

I have a stock exhaust, a prototype header by Performance Race Engineering (PRE)
tune was done on a local dynapack Dyno by Vittuning.com

I have been very happy with this setup,

Why not have moto-mike do a remote tune with ecutek. Hes really the top player regarding tuning sc's especially the Jackson, Kraft's and innovative. Prices are totally reasonable. You do have to buy a new sensor as part of the tuning package but that's only $100.

Thanks for the encouragement Boofneenee, appreciate it. I will definitely get to street logging tonight to get a custom tune going

Neat!
