What's the difference between 7A & 8J X files?
I switched back to the X sauce b/c I'm going K04 here soon and currently running the 07A file. What problems were people experiencing on 7A for GIAC to come out w/ new software? Was it TC specific or were there other problems as well?

obviously a new version but...
no TC? I think most mbox's are getting TC w/ the 8J file but I realize the new L30x file fixed the TC issues as reviewed by DocWyte and others.
I have yet to experience TC w/ the 7A file but my ECU has not fully adapted so I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

It's funny, I had 7a for about 7 months, and it just suddenly
manifested itself. And it was really bad, I mean, as soon as I punched 3rd/4th, It would cut horribly. I lost several races because of it. Spent a long time logging/changing/installed MBC/and could not completely cure it.
As soon as L308X was installed, nothing. MBC currently set at 17/18psi, NO throttle cut at all. Admittedly, the aggressive early torque of GIAC's 7A software is gone. It doesn't really peak until about 4000/4500rpms now. But saying that, the car pulls HARD until 6500rpms. I'm still on K03's, so they run out of air, but the software is no longer the problem, the hardware is.

It's flash. I had a 7a seperate GIAC ecu that couldn't be flashed.
Fortunately, I had a stock M box, they flashed that within seconds and put the original stock program in my old GIAC ecu.
I got mine from Avalon, who fortunately, are minutes from my house. If you have noone locally, look at Avalon or Jeff Moss@torque-factory
