What sort of connection did you do for the power? Just tap into the jumper terminal or something more permanent? |

Ran into a system lockdown on my car with Stage 2 Map 2 today. I had experience with a lockdown before with stage 1. With stage 1 it happened after 2 hard runs... the warning came on my screen and told me to drive back to dealer for a check-up. My car was limited to 1000 rpm. After i turned off my engine and turned it back on. I waited 2 mins for the light to disappear and drove normal again. Today it happened when I was driving normally on a highway. Prior to the lockdown I noticed Map 2 sometimes does not feel smooth while driving. Feels like it was a glitch and could happen at low speed. Feels like the acceleration skips a little bit. I felt it couple of times driving on high way around 70 miles an hour. Today as I was picking up speed up to 70 miles it happened again and came the lockdown. What should I do?

Wow!! I guess you'll just have to wait for Terry to respond. Does he know your in Taiwan? I wonder if coding/language is different.

I've decided not to install a downpipe and no longer have any real desire to keep my stage 2 upgrade kit. If anyone is interested I'm selling it for $150 shipped. I have a post in the classifieds as well.

Anyone have a link to the software you are suppose to DL, in order for you to run stage 2? I have to take my car to LTMW tomorrow morning, and I need to DL the application so we can access map 2..

Knock on wood - I have the Challenge HFC DP as well and no issues yet. Drives like a beast but I've only pushed it maybe 10-12 times are so. How often do you get on it?

Not too often at all.... like I said... it happened to me with stage 2 when I was driving normal. I'm wondering once you are on Map 2, can you still use the steering wheel to change it to map 0? Do you ever notice your normal acceleration to be not smooth? I think it doesn't happen every time but sometimes driving on the street I would feel like the car just kicks.... |

Not sure what year to be honest. He was riding my a$$ getting onto the highway and we both jetted once it opened up. I may have had a one second jump on him when the median opened up but I'm sure he was surprised he couldn't come close to passing me after a 15 second run or so. This thing has balls with such a simple upgrade.

It looks like Nick didn't see much of a difference in his quarter miles, which surprised me. I just installed it and haven't had much of a chance to get more than a 'feel' at highway speeds. It seems to move a bit better but really hard to say. Once it drys up I'll do some runs and video them to compare against my 0-60 and 40-80 and 60-80 runs. The one run I did from 20-60 I got wheel spin and traction control intervention, not sure if more due to the increased power or the damp road. My not scientific testing showed I was getting in the 4.8 range from 0-60 stock though. I need a vbox... |

I ordered a GTech Pro, has anyone had any experience with one of these vs the vbox? I imagine the vbox is superior but for the difference in price the GTech seemed like something worth trying out. They also don't have a restocking fee like the vbox if you decided to return.

I also haven't timed anything but my main concern is traction. Any time I get on it from 25mph or lower, I definitely spin the tires so I know thats going to hurt the times.
