If you're joking then I missed it and you can discount my comments below if not then:

And who are you going to blame when you blow up your engine? Jeff or Pettit?

Doesn't Pettit actually lower the Rev limiter on their reflash for reliability reasons...

This is where the term "idiot proofing" comes in...if he's serious.

Okay. If he's doing it in the name of science and pushing the envelope for the benefit of the community with decent tech. support then by all means have at it and I look forward to hearing about the results.

I was just afraid that it was someone that didn't know what they were asking for...

The S/C can't produce enough air to reach the end of the tune, so my money is on the S/C coming unglued.
Of course, if you run it way beyond its efficiency band, it will be producing so much heat that the charge my auto-ignite and detonate the motor.

Either way, I'm not standing by that one...

You will, many pics will be taken. Not sure if the spank symbol applies to me, but I think you should purchase a F/I kit before you make intelligent comments about those of us that allready have one.

For fuel, yes.
However, there is no amount of spark retard in the world to cover a 260°F charge temp.

How could he be? He has asked for my input and assistance.
Just so everyone knows. Ray and Jeff are simply giving me the tools to do the job. I would never in good conscience try to hold either one of them accountable for doing something outside of a manufacturers reccommendations. I'm happy that Jeff is willing to give me the ability to possibly succeed with the AP. As far as what Ray is doing for me, everyone will find out in a month or so.

Gotcha. Do you want to tell me what you are planning on doing tune wise here, or via email.

My attempt at a joke but I guess I should have realized the crowd it was being applied too.
