it still wouldnt benefit from a bs3 system, it would benefit more from a a1000 boost controller to control traction off the line.

the stock computer is plenty tunable for 800hp, it would npt even require a injector drier.

Money can be better spent elsewhere.

not so... its hard to fine tune a car when you just limit the boost... when running on limited tires you need to be able to bring timing in or out based on where you're at on the track, and controll boost...bs3 also has a boost controller built in, and has a 2step and has room to grow as big as he wants....

if its a track car i say get it....
i went this whole season trying to make the car work "well" on the EFIlive and RR and i just couldnt do the things i needed to...

no its not a drag car it will see the strip every now an then so is guess bs3 is not needed preciate the info. Only trying to get the car in the low 10's, or maybe high 9's anybody think that will be possible

At what point is it needed for a car that is mainly street driven? I know by the time you add up a two step, boost controller, hp tuners, wideband and injector driver you could be bs3.

only thing i hate about the bs3 is the price but i guess its worth the price, already have eboost2 boost controller, wouldn't my tuner be uses hp tuners or efi live to tune my car, and what is a two step, who sells a good wideband?
