Thanks, mate. I need to get my hands on a used Evo BOV and the pill and we can figure something out. I like the idea of the GST flash due to the work being done with the SST in it.

The GST Base flash is 100% free so it's a win/win there. Would also provide a great starting point for any tuner that has not touched the RA yet. There are a few differences from it and the EvoX, such as the lack of boost retard when in first gear.

Lol thanks Reid! No your the man! (my clear bra looks invisible!) haha, free is free can't beat that...does the flash have the SST tranny torque limiters lifted or do they just disable that also do you know if they have a fix for "half tank limp mode" by any chance?

As I understand it, the RA never had the first gear torque limit to begin with. I'm not sure about the limp-mode bit.

Oh yeah ok it looks like they are just disabling the airflow/torque limiter tables at least cobb is. The half tank issue I've heard some cases on the X that either the fuel pump starves for fuel or the ecu thinks the tank is empty and goes to limp mode. This happened to a X MR I tuned that went out to the track and mid corner went into limp mode and he almost completely lost it. I think he had a little under half a tank.

yeah that half tank deal was fun. nothing like rounding a 3rd gear corner and the having limp mode kick in hard and make you almost eat dirt. still rocking a Jer.K tune and all is still awesome. since then, i put in a ams surge tank. cracked off a12.2 again @ 115 hitting 8300 @4th. stupid tranny wont let me get better than a 1.78-1.82. time for a retune when im back in town. got 880cc PTE's and a FP Black to try out.

Nice...did you test out the surge tank out at the track yet? So your only going w/ a black?lol I guess we can find out if the mr tranny likes 40+ psi of boost haha.

more like 30psi-ish shouldn't affect tq limiters too much due to the lag. (hopefully) i got a sweet deal from a guy that never put it in his X. got headstuds to locate now. never got to test the tank yet. but its good peace of mind for next time out.

I've camped out at Turn 15 for the Ferrari Club Hill Climb, but you have to get there early before the event starts and once you're there, you're stuck till the event is over.

We took an EZ-up canopy and a huge cooler and had a blast.

We disabled your airflow/torque maps so shouldn't be affected. Hopefully that solves it cause that is ridiculous to need more than half tank to race although I just found I can't go below 1/4 tank or I can cutout but its usually only on 1 corner it happens on.

Not really a drive way but a nice large turn around area up near the top. On the left hand side driving up, only a few corners from the finish/bridge.
