i say, are you going to use them... are you even going to use all the features that the ms1 has?

why pay more for stuff you wont use and more than likely overwhelm yourself lol
**** don't say that lol! I have ms2 that I have yet to use. Is ms2 that much more confusing to tune than ms1?

there are just more options, settings, and things to understand.

and its certainly anything but user friendly, i do love their products though, dont get me wrong, i am a bare essentials kinda person

So ms1 is "easier" to tune than ms2? I've read that ms2 is much more tuneable? With ms2 having more resolution and all.

yes there are less fields that do the same thing, essentially making it easier to do the same thing on a un-complicated setup.

i use the MS1 extra code with a 12x12 table and its more than enough for a street car with 23lbs of boost, great resolution and smooth transition into boost.

im not saying its for everyone but man i like it haha

dude this shifter feels like a chopping block, its perfect, i got the non-lockout version and you can just throw gears like its a minivan in and out of reverse etc.

im really liking everything so far, did 100mph in 2nd gear already and already put about 35miles on it, gotta work on the shift tables of course but locked up in 4th gear at 80mph its only doing 1600rpm haha

man it drives like a stock car its insane.

ok everything is going great, cept for the trans gets a little hot, its hot as ***** out here like 90s during the day, but the tranny sticking around 200-215...

i have a 30-40 dollar auto parts store cooler in the front of the car, obviosuly not enough, wahts funny is my friends stock cooler in his 2010 truck this was in, little bar and plate (wich i hear is better than the tube and fin)

his never went over 175 even with 1700lbs more vehicle.

so i want to order a BM cooler or soemthieng off summit or jegs, anyone have a reccomendation? ill probably just get a medium sized one that is bar and plate. and see how she does.

i dont think i will need a crazy fanned one because my friend used the stock truck one.

get a b&m super cooler, i have one remote mounted under the back of the car with a fan mounted on it. even after a 15-20 mile drive and some abuse it is usally only 175ish and that minimal airflow until the fan comes on(temp switch)

i got BM without the fan, since corey never used a fan either, if it still gets hot i will get one with a fan, but it shouldnt need it with less weight than his truck to push around

only reason i have a fan is cause its mounted under hte back of the car up against the floor so it has no direct airflow
