You can still get the dual stage flash, but that will just consist of 100% tuning on pump gas, but then you will have an inherent map switch that is triggered by raising the boost - that's where the MBC comes into play. The downside is it's not a custom tuned race gas map, but it is at least better than nothing.

Is this an option for a dual stage flash or 2 maps? I'd like to be able to turn off the meth and run race gas with reduced boost if I do a road race. I'm running the 20g-9 5 blade from Buschur at about 28 psi tapering to 24 at redline on pump gas now.

Btw, why would you turn off the meth when road racing? It cools the intake charge, so it's perfect for road racing. My temps are much lower with the meth flowing on the road course. I also add race gas (100-104oct), and lower the boost some, so that I have a large safety margin.
What, you run 28psi on pump gas? Are you insane? Or did you mean with alky? We don't refer to running alky as being on pump gas.
insane

Why yes I am insane, thanks for asking. 28 psi is with the meth but the problem with running it in a road race with the setup I have now is the run time from 1 gallon of meth. I could still run it but at a lower rate with less boost. And yes it is an EVO VIII. Two maps loaded with ECUFLASH or a dual flash?

WannaRace, I received it and forwarded to Al, but he's busy right now. Don't worry about it - we'll take care of it.
Fireman, no that's not a dual stage flash. The dual stage flash is the regular, old method of tuning for pump gas, but then having a built-in secondary map that is triggered by raising boost.
The thing YOU will get is a 100% custom tuned map for whatever setup you want - pump only, pump + meth, race + meth, stock, valet, whatever. You will be able to switch maps whenever you want as long as you have a laptop with WinXP, the $90 Tactrix.com cable, and the free openecu.org software.
1 gallon of meth shouldn't be a problem. I road race with my SMC progressive kit that only holds 1 gallon, and I barely used half a gallon in a full 25-min session while running around 24psi. I turned it down to 24 instead of 26 for safety reasons. If you do the same, you shouldn't have a problem running out of meth unless you're using a 15lph nozzle and activating it before 20psi. Mine only starts at 18psi and goes 100% at 26psi, so I don't guzzle alky.

you posted
"You're all in luck. With the new invention of the EcuFlash software along with the Tactrix cable, you can now get as many maps as you want, and Al is offering to give customers both a pump gas and race gas tune at no extra charge. You just have to buy the $90 cable from Tactrix.com, then have a laptop with the free software from openecu.org. Then, you can switch back and forth between pump, race, valet, stock, etc., whenever you want."
Would it better to have a second map for a road race setup? I have the software, laptop with XP and the cable should be in my hands in a few days.
