I am interested in testing the Unit. I run a power puck and currently am running 150 horse injectors, but can put in something smaller if you need. I also have a Smarty, but don't run it. I am currently running about 1,000 miles per week on this truck.

2000 Ram 2500 auto.

Thanks,
Matt

I can help

Quad,

I have a stock 2002 HO 6 spd with a Smarty and I would be interested in doing some Beta testing for you. As far as my resume` goes, I am a degreed Automotive Engineer and have been in the field for over 15 years, and have a strong background in testing and analysis. I worked for a number of years developing and testing automotive scan tools for OTC (Owatonna Tool Company) working on the OTC 2000, 4000 and 4000enh.

Let me know if I can help.

The module does boost fooling even in the off position.

I already have a pretty long list that we are sending these out to but, I need a couple more to fill the test. We have a lot of people on the beta list and we are using them but, we are looking for either stock trucks or trucks with very mild modifications (small injectors, exhaust, intakes etc).

It would be great if I could get someone to compare it to an EZ, Puck or Smarty as well.

If you are interested in helping us with some feedback please shoot me a pm.

Some things we will want to know are:

Good horsepower gain?
Drivability
Fuel Mileage
egt
ease of installation


If I left anything out let me know. Also since I only need a couple please do not get upset if someone beats you to the punch. I would prefer at least 1 98-00 and 1 01-02. From there I will split it between tranny types.

Quad,

I don't know if you've found all beta testers that you need, but I'm actually right up your alley. I have a 2000 with only the following mods:

EZ with elbow
RV275's
straight pipe

I've been running this for 5 or 6 years (90k miles), so I have a good benchmark to compare this too.

Also, I'm on the edge of my stock clutch (6 speed) so in the next couple months I'm going to wind up with an SBC Con-OFE.

Once that happens, I guess its a downhill slide into the dark side of the force!

I believe all pm's are answered albeit with a generic message.

I do not need anymore testers at this point. As we get more of them out and we have a need for something specific I will ask for them.

Many testers have boxes in the mail including some of the guys here. We will trickle them out over the next 2 weeks or so as we have to build more beta units.

We are waiting on actual enclosures that are purpose built for this product so I figured instead of standing around I might as well do a really big test.

Thanks to all that offered up services and if you have any questions let me know.

If you respond to the message you have now all received you will be talking to us soon!

Some of your have recieved your beta boxes and others have not. SInce we decided to up the number of beta boxes we split it into 2 categories. All of you that pm'd me and asked to test should have talked to one of our guys here.

We are really close to the 2nd group going out. We have decided to wait on the plastic samples that we should recieve tomorrow or Monday. As soon as they get here they are going out. The 2nd group should be really close to production and should have any and all known bugs or issue removed or fixed. This group also has the USB port enabled on it and will come with a USB cable. So if we need to make changes you can do it home and not have to worry about sending anything back.

On the first group, lets give these first guys a week or so to make sure nothing stupid pops up right off the bat and then we will get you to send your boxes back (we will pay the shipping of course) and we will update all of them and send them back out.

Thanks to many of those we have been in contact with. I think we have resolved the only couple of issues we have seen and this should be smooth sailing.

The last thing we will do is testing on changing tuning files. This is mostly to test our software and everything else that includes the USB. You will be able to change back to any file you want once we know the updates are working properly.

If you have any questions please let me know.

I have an 02 stock except for 4" exhaust. I would like to see the difference between my VA box and XZT.
