My issue is the remote start. I've got it so I'm going to abuse it.

Sorry to hear you're having issues with the DS. Have you thought about a custom tune. Sometimes the canned tunes are not a 'one size fits all' kind of deal.

In all honesty the canned tune should fit a "stock" truck, which basically is what I have and what the majorty of their customers would be. A muffler and drop in air filter is essentially a stock truck that a good canned tune should handle. Custom tunes should only be needed for highly modified trucks like my SRT. Again, I could tinker with it, add some fuel, ect. But I should not have to do that with basically a stock truck with a canned tune.

I agree somewhat but like was said earlier, the tune was made in warm Florida. I don't think they can tune for all climates and conditions.

On my Street Glide, I've got a Power Commander V with the Auto Tune module. I set the A/F for a given throttle position and RPM and it uses wideband O2 sensors to adjust the mixture. You would think that once it's been ridden for a while it would be tuned but that's not the case. I've put over three thousand miles on it this summer alone and it sill adjusts everytime I ride it. Think of the guys that didn't get the auto tune module, they got a custom tune on a dyno once and their stuck with that same tune no matter what the riding conditions. I have proof that the best map is a constantly changing map, with the power commander.

I was wondering the same thing. I sent them a message via their site today, so I would expect to get an answer this up coming week. I will post any info I get.

Come on SuperChips! Dont let us down like DiabloSport has! I'd rather wait for a tune done right than some half a$$ job POS. Sorry but this programmer has just been a royal pain from day one.
