What about the supercharged cars?
Taylor at DP has been working on a switch controlled system that controls a butterfly valve on the intake side of a supercharger. With all the reliability issues associated with switches, it seems like a speed trigger would work better to control the butterfly valve. Maybe you guys could work together on this for version 2.0?

yes but the signal is so different frequency that you have to fudge the speedo calibration way out to correct it. Would make the adjustments on the box probably not be in the range you would want them in.

I will see, can you give me a tooth count on the Driveshaft? I think one of my guys may have already contacted you.
Ill call you today.
I agree, the AMS 1000 is much better for control, but there lies many problems for the weekend warrior. Its cumbersome, it has a lot of wires, it takes up a lot of realestate, its pricey, and you have to add on a converter, or box on top of it like our box, to get it to work properly on these cars. LSx street cars, where boost by time doesn't work for a roll racer.
The Eboost2 many people already own. Its a great controller, but you yourself, the driver, had to physically raise boost, via the set points. There is no way on these cars to do a cost effective boost by gear/speed setup, until the GSS BBS box. Trust me, Ive been in this market since the inception of the LS1, and it just doesnt exist, for this price point.
I appreciate your input, its people like you that drive the market and competition, however, I pay a premium to post here on LS1tech. I welcome your product, I dont think it will be competition for our box, as its two totally different markets.
Boxes are en route to me guys, Ill ship them out as soon as I get them. I have a few left, just in time for Texas 2k

Ill call you today.
I'm currently finishing up work on weatherproofing and final fitment of a shift position sensor that allows true boost by gear for many different cars and will be using the crane cams "street shark" car shown in the picture to figure out how to fit it to the GM flavored M6.
This is true boost by gear we use with the ams1000 boost controller meaning you can go through the gears and the display on the ams1000 will show what gear you are in and apply boost control based on that gear regardless of car speed.
This is important because gear ratio determines torque to the wheels...........not vehicle speed.
For the last two years it's worked well enough for us to hit over 270 (unofficial) in the standing mile (252.9 official) even when someone set the boost levels far too high for the lower gears.
Look for this car to take the record over 270 sometime this year but don't expect that at texas as the venue is proving too short in length.
We've moved the shop and will be having a grand opening in march.

I'll save this thread and use pm when I have something concrete in the next week or so.
We have a couple of Z06 I can use to figure out a sensor solution but remember that this is for the ams1000 boost controller since it uses industry standard 0-5v signalling.
I know other boost controllers or engine management systems use engine speed vs final drive speed to divine which gear the car is in which might be an easier solution....especially if you already run a motec or another system that has this ability.
let me know what you currently are using for engine or boost management and I can research what will work best.

Couple of questions.....
1). Will the work with any eBoost or does one need the eBoost2?
2). I am building a GTM using a 2003 Corvette as a donor, can I use the ABS sensor from the Vette to run your system (I am not running ABS, but I have the sensors). Some of the builders are using the ABS sensor as a way to pick up speed for their speedometer (with limited success).
I have yet to purchase the boost controller, so your anwser will help me go in the right direction.
thx

The sensor output on 97-08 vettes is the same as 97-02 camaros, you will have no issues, as thats what this is designed for. It takes the frequency the ABS sensor outputs, and uses it to switch boost setpoints.

There is a guy over at FFcars (Iron.man) that is running a forged 408 on 12psi through a 5 speed Porsche (G50-01) with no problems.

For about 5K more, Mendeola mades a GTM trans that will handle more power than I plan to throw at it and uses the Corvette clutch and starter or for an additional 3.5K on top of the Mendeola you can get a Ricardo that will handle 1500hp.
