Who's got one of these? How hard is it to use? Can it store multiple settings? How do you know what the optimal fuel/air mixture is, anyway? Did anybody get somebody else to set it? I'm planning on supercharging and then adding nitrous over the next year (I'm going all out) and wanted to get this controller. It seems really nice but I'm not sure I'd know how to set it properly and if I could have one setting for regular driving with the supercharger and one for dragging with the s/c and laughing gas. Also, where did you mount it?

I dont have mine yet, but I've done a lot of research on it. It has to be tuned on a dyno. There aren't 2 setting that you can switch from. It autoswitches, at a certain throttle percentage. If you're putting that much induction in, then you'd better upgrade your fuel system bigtime. I plan to mount mine flush where the cupholders are, and have it hidden under the lid.

The fuel system I haven't decided what I'm going to do with. I don't plan on using the Nitrous a lot and the Supercharger I haven't decided what psi I'm going to run at so I may or may not need to upgrage my pump/injectors. Maybe after everything is installed, if I find that things are running lean (and there's a good chance of that) I'll stop using the nitrous and redo the fuel system. But make no mistake this is something I've thought about. In fact just about everything I've thought about. For hours. And I'm giving myself over a year to plan it properly.

Anyway, what lid are you hiding it under? Is it too big to fit in a DIN slot? I'm assuming yes. I'd like to have it somewhere visible so I can use some of it's other features and gauges. Maybe custom mount it in the double din slot and move my stereo down to where the tray is...

Talk to Chesboto (Cheston) on the board. He has one on his 4th gen.
