Default BS3 owners inside

Just purchased Big stuff 3 for my turbo setup and wanted to know what other owners thought of it? How do you feel it is better or worse than some of the other options?

Thanks!

Isn't this something that you should have asked before you bought it? The fastest FI LS1 cars are running this system...nuff said.

I asked plenty but I just wanted personal opinions of users not just a break down of features. I searched for quite some time on it and was recommended by a pro I trust so it wasn't an issue. Plus I'm just happy I finally got it, one of the few moments of levity I am afforded over here in this **** box can't wait to get home and run the new set up!

I hear ya. Rest assured that the box will do everything you want and more. Hell, you can even download the software from the bs3 website and start playing with it.

From a packaging standpoint, it rocks. There is no separate patchwork solution for the crank reference like the FAST, and the BS3 is race proven in the 6's for the LSx.

All right guys! Now I'm all excited to get this and it is being delivered this week but I won't see it for 6 months. Thanks though, it is nice to hear positive feedback when you spend that kind of money. Didn't know about the downloading of software from their site. That's great, I love this thing already! Thanks again

Always liked mine, never had any real problems with it.

I've found that John is not very helpful with it a lot of times, and kind of dismissive.

If I had to sell my car and get a new bone stock LS1 the first mod I would buy would probably be a BigStuff3 box that way I had the ability to do everything I needed with future mods

I have found John @ BS3, and Kurt @ W2W (who I bought it thru), very helpful. It helps to buy it from someone who knows how to use it.

Any ideas who the kingpin LT1 user is? I'll get in touch with w2w if I can google their info.

Thanks, TJ

I believe Jim (Intmd8) from www.ls1speed.com is using a BS3 for his 1996 SS.
