Dunno about G forces. probably leaves half the rear tires on the pavement and throws the *** end out of control. 700hp looks great on a dyno, but USE that HP, then i'll be impressed.
Skepticism aside, though, those are amazing numbers. Well done.
Edit: Damn, i hate my tendancy towards knee-jerk replies. Posted this, then realized there were five more pages to the thread. my statement about hooking up still stands, though.

You can PM me, if you don't want to put it out in the open.
Thanks,

I see one feature alone that would have been great.. "Overboost Fuel Cut". As a customer not Manfacturer, I don't mind being recommended parts with valid reasons. But for something as simple as overboost protection & knock control. Who is really being led astray? If the EU has the feature don't you think it should have been enabled?

I can say the overboost fuel cut feature saved my motor already when we were testing the BCS, we saw about a 21 psi spike as it cut the fuel, saving my motor for sure. I would say that feature alone is worth the $1000 IMHO..

I hope you are not implying that I led Gman astray, becuase he is a well informed consumer, and takes the opinions of many different tuners. On a high boost motor, I would definatley prefer the UTEC, no question, but its his choice to make.
I am not pointing figure but you seemed to jump on the scene almost in an attempt to protect.
Anyway, the SGP boys are BADASS much respect!

I was just jumping in for Gman...sorry if I overstepped. As I mentioned in my thread, I welcome his more detailed explanation. But of course, I am going to be concerned when an engine that I tuned was damaged. Could his engine have been saved by the UTEC....possibly. Was the UTEC available when he had his car tuned....no.
Would I recommend the UTEC for him today...YES!

Would I recommend the UTEC for him today...YES!You are being very protective of something that in reality was not directed at you. Simply stated I just wanted to know his reason's of why he was not choosing the UTEC. For no other reason but to say ok fine, these are some things we need to change to make out product more appealing. It has nothing to do with his orignal choice for ems, but he now has another opportunity to go a different route. If Gman chooses not to speak, that is fine with me.
Nothing personal!

Hey all,
I am not choosing not to speak. I just got back from a weekend trip to Disney World and haven't had access to the internet since Thurdsay evening. I will post tomorrow.
***edit*** Sharif was not the one that advised me not to get the UTEC. Sharif has always been honest and up front with me on any issue or product I have bought from him. In fact I have never discussed the UTEC with him. The last thing I bought from him was a catch can back in July right before he tuned my car.

Dont know but, I am really ready to find out & have setup the MAP to 35 PSI....This car is way to loud for the street, the pump is loud, etc...but, he said he was going to drive it some anyway...I have dynos from OUR Dynapak & from the other Dynojet...so I will post both when I can get to a scanner, I tried to take a pic with the camera but, it just will not come out right...@ 10 PSI the car makes 575 & 560FT LB....Crazy...Just NUTS...It is running C16 right now but, has been setup to take pump gas up to 13 PSI or so about 640+....I will post more later but, 737 RWHP & 689 Ft. Lbs. is definately crazy on the street...The test drive proved that to the customer...and woke everyone up a little bit...The car is just a sleeved block & Big Bore but, the cooling MODS are a MUST, as well as the IGNITION....The DLI works wonders guys...I will give everyone some more info on that when we receive it.... There are 2 more coming soon & we just released a VERY nice 550 RWHP auto on pump gas to a lucky customer in Arkansas...Thanks TIM!!!!!........I am OUT!!!
