Well I decided to jump on the Cobb AP flash to see if it improved my tune. If this is the same type of improvement that you m/t owners with the Pettit flash have then you will know that when I speak of the completely new and exciting car. When the Pettit s/c was first install I was (and still am) enthralled at the added performance but kinda missed the smooth stock feel. I figured it was gone forever and just a casualty of FI. There are still a few small bugs to be sorted out (lack of power from 2000 to 3000 rpm) but the whole stock smoothness is there again with the added punch of the supercharger. My a/t shifts like stock and actually loves shifting at 8500 rpm, that pesky cel is gone and my idle is now dependable and steady.

MazdaManiac spent two three hour sessions installing the system, finding the best tune and doing his best to explain what was happening and why. He did the install because this was a first, a four port a/t with a supercharger. Since the purchase of my Pettit supercharger, this was the best mod that I have purchased.

Additional power, well it feels a little faster from 3000 up but Jeff was interested in the best tune all thru the complete range before looking for more power. He was impressed and commented "this car will be a real screamer".

Good to hear Phil---keep us atuned to how it works out long term. Do you have to watch your trims?

No. The trims are handled by my MAF scaling.
Once the correct AccessPORT calibration from my library is in place, you are done. There is nothing to monitor.

The only thing I would suggest is methanol injection to help with the heat, but I'm sure you already thought of that. I've only done autocross and drag, still too much of a n00b to do any real racing

Yep will have that spraying.
I wonder if the sensor that comes with the kit in the upper intake manifold can be wired to the ambient temp gauge in the oem led screen? Wouldnt that be a cool place to monitor the intake temps?

Let's wait until my next east coast trip to get into politics and the media.

Pat, will you please say "Hi" to Mrs. Legend and let her know about your FJ. She wants one so I gotta sell a lot of P2/BHR services and goodies so I can buy her one........as an engagement gift.

what does a screen have to do with total air flow---is it THAT restrictive?
I ran the oem one for a little while --pulled my plugs and made a quick decision to put the pettit one on--my wideband broke and i currently do not have a way on monitoring.

FYI

I registered for an upcoming Autocross event at the Gainesville Raceway weather permitting. I heard on last month AutoX event that it is fairly easy to attain just over 100 mph on this track. I will EFI Dude log my runs for later posting or email the whole log if interested.
