zUTEC and boost up at AAM
I have the PE TT kit. I drove the 10 hours from Kentucky to Maryland to have AAM install the zUTEC, Turner REG, Remote Map Switch, Hipro Dual Stage Boost Controller with remote switch, and Knocklight. Dropped the car off at 9 am, hotel action to recover, Mike had it on the dyno all day yesterday, and rolled out of Maryland @ about 730 last night, got back to Kentucky this morning. Too tired to do any type of review, except the car perfomed flawlessly on the ride back in all types of temps and conditions, fog, snow, rain, mid forties to lower thirties, stopped once for an hour or so at Dennys for steak and eggs, otherwise only gas stops, about 600 miles or so. Very happy with it so far, and the excellent tune that Mike did. Of course, this is no good without pictures, so some lame pictures I managed to snap are presented here. zUTEC rocks!

Really? I thought the boost features were all in the UTEC release.
I am trying to decide whether to install the Blitz SBC I have or just use a solenoid with the UTEC. SO if it doesn't work I guess I'll just go with the Blitz.

Boost control mapping is functional on the UTEC, but launch control and no-lift-shift are not. Should be coming in future software revisions.

Secondly you could map boost via the utec and switch maps on the fly as well as boost settings

Thanks,
