IMO, just wait since there are some mixed reviews about this mod...still too new to be proven to work effectively in the long run. Hopefully, they'll lower their price perhaps with a group deal later?

Yeah it's a good idea to wait a little bit for all this review to be clear and hopefully a GD will be great.

Believe me, I've been following TS's development since it was first brought up in this forum and I've chatted w/Danny myself through emails. Without a doubt, the potiental for improved horespowers is apparent since the same VQ3.5DE engine is being widely used and tuned/programed for different applications with regards to horsepower output . I think Technosquare needs to do some fine tunning w/the reprograming since I don't think their Reasearch & Development has been established prior to their product release.

krmaxima, wasn't it you that recently dyno your car w/this mod and the claimed "peak" horsepower was off? I'd read a few reviews from other members with this mod. and some had to resent the ECU back for a reflash, after dyno, due to some issues w/the fuel and air ratio being too rich/lean.

I don't know about you guys, but I am still down on hp with the ecu. and very lean at 6400 17 on a/f. I lost 7 hp to wheels after flash.Danny is willing to refund my $ if car dosn't improve this spring, hopefully its just gas. At least Danny is willing to stand behind his product .Any posts of the link of dyno by anyone else?

see mine was never lean it was running a little rich by .4 so i just wanted it perfect. in jerome johnsons case it might be the gas or something is wrong with his car might be sensors or what not. but also about the dyno i come to relize that the dyno shop is the problem i dont think they know how to dyno. also my afr was not as low as it stated on my dyno graph i tested it two days ago at ts. anyways i love this product and love this company. and this is the only company i trust

Please show us a dyno. It would help sell this product.

i think the org is waiting on studmans dyno along with someone else. Not positive, but i think there were some hold ups on dynos due to motor mount problems. After a few more dynos (preferably 6 speeds to show a larger curve and to eliminate any misreadings due to torque converters) the effectiveness of the ECU will be more apparent. I hope it does prove to have some good gains on upcoming dynos tho, ECU's just have a huge potential to bump up the power of the 3.5
