But my knowledge of the Bully Dog programmers and others is they remove the stock program and store it in the programmer and then download a performance program. While problems exist in any product it's been many mothns of sales since I had anyone have any issues with returning a programmed truck back to the stock PCM's flash (original program). 99.999% of those that have ahd a problem are usually related to incorrect operation or turning on electrical functions of the truck when programming. The instruction manuals always direct you to NOT do that of course. And in 99% of these cases a refresh of the programmer function reloads the stock program if you do mess it up anyway.
Is this what you meant???

Tst
I would hold on for a few weeks and TST will have a new and more complete unit than you can imagine. You won't need a fueling box as they will offer that in their new unit. You can adj timing yourself off of the user control and you will have many more selections than you have today and power accesses. A little patience here will be rewarded.

Scary Larry vs TST

The TST options I referred to that will be available are just that,... options of adjustability rather than actual hp and tq upgrades, however when they put that fuel pressure option on their unit soon then that certainly would be a sweet bump to their units power.
I use myself here as an example and only that,... but I've got the dreaded popping problem and for me options which will provide the possibility to rid myself of this pain in the a.. is what I'm in search of rather than more power that I can't use because the truck doesn't like it. Think about it,... options that will let you tweak inch by inch until you get the MOST desirable usage of fuel and air for YOUR truck. These trucks are NOT the same. You can have two supposedly like trucks and one can run something and the other can't. You have to have this adjustability to DIAL IN for YOUR truck, or your just throwing your $$$ away. My $.02.

So TST is developing a new box that has the built in features of let's say an EZ or MP8 pressure box? So the need to stack to get the low end would be gone?
When? When? When?
Darn you, I was like 10 seconds away from picking up the phone and ordering my TST and MP8.
