Is this the answer to our Timing/Knock Retard issues? http://www.safeguard.20m.com/safeguard.html
I already emailed them, so don't bombard them. I will post what I find out here and on LS1.com. Here's my email:
--------------------------------------------------
I have experienced numerous issues with running turbo on the vehicle. Several blown head gaskets, score cylinders, melted plugs, etc. As of now, many people are using "mail order" tuning on the LS1 to manage turbo and high performance applications. The issue for the LS1 crowd is the lack of real time sensors that will keep us from hurting our very expensive buildups.
Can you give me info on how your unit attaches and interacts with OBD2?
Is thing "plug and play"? Or is there splicing involved.
The LS1 has two knock sensors on the lifter valley cover. Are these still used? That is, does the unit pull timing based on factory knock sensor input?
Lastly, we want to know what the pricing will be for an LS1 type kit with the dual readout option you have. I think there will be much interest from the LS1 crowd. Any possibility of a group purchase? If so, please let me know the details.
Sincerely,
Todd Brandon (aka Reckless)
