The program did not work out!!!!!

After several hours tuning on the dyno it would show a horsepower increase of 17hp. The next day I would go to the track and I would never see an increase in MPH or ET.

During my testing I would always try to give the PROGram the benefit of the doubt. I would take 3/4 passes down the track. I would then bypass(disconnect) the Program. I would always go a little faster with the stock ECU.

I went back to the dyno taking out the timing changes and then back to the track same results. I noticed the low end was always better with the stock setup. I probably had about 20 passes for test data with always the same results

When I finally returned it. Tony at the racers group(distributor of the program and a nice guy) looked at my fuel/timing maps and stated thats exactly how he would have programmed it.

Two weeks later I put the fields fuel controller($200) on. Tuned it on the same dyno as above an picked up 10 hp. The next day I went to the track and picked up my best time and mph. Go figure.......

I do not recommend the PROGram.
