Default First one to get new GIAC stage 3- software for tip. First impressions& crushed 5bar results...

its awesome stuff. Car is sooo smooth i have not felt anything this smooth since my orignal mtm chip. Car is noticablly faster up top. I have put about 500 miles on the software already since last Thursday (was in cali on vacation) and on the drive back to vegas today i was hammering it hard after state line and it was running like a champ. I cant believe how fast i went from 75-105 when i put my foot in it to pass, and downshifted to third first. Of intresting note I had problems with the crushed 5bar fpr i was using. It was running rich and misfiring in 2 spots in the rev range. The stage 3- software is running so close to injector max that even the little variance was enough to cause it to misfire. Im not saying the software will not work with a crushed 5bar but, if you are running the stage 3- instaed of homebrew and want to be absolutely sure it will work perfect i highly reccomend getting a real bosh 5bar fpr. Thanks to Jeff Moss for spending the time to get the software dialed in for me.

Default Any before and after FATS times?

Glad to see you're happy and GL with the setup.

Not to be an ***, but if anyone with GIAC X came to me with 500 bucks and said give me full S3 fueling, I could do so in my garage in less than 2 hours with OE driveability and make a couple bucks :/

Default But can you change back to X?

That's the best program for homebrew, imo. Yea, that's a good deal and worth trying if you're already an existing Garrett customer.
