The reason it feels soo much smoother IMO is because the boost targeting and actual boost are spot on now, they are literally graphed on top of one another when I go data logging. And while JB3 boost came on like a hill, JB4 boost comes on like a straight line from 3500RPM-6500RPM.
And of course the CAN integration on the dashboard is really cool, love having my hazards go on as shift lights (you can set the shift light to whatever RPM you wish), love turning my gas gauge into a boost gauge, and my oil gauge into an IAT gauge.
Having said all this, I wish my timing looked a little better with this crap 91 octane gas.

Same **** everyone else says lol, It feels much smoother, throttle response is better, partial throttle is much much better now, and it (partial throttle response) just recently got even better with the auto PID adjusting which was released 2 days ago.

I'll probably upgrade to JB4 Pro Board or go with Cobb Dyno Tuning. The dyno tuning can get expensive tho, since I'd probably want a 91 octane tune, a 94 octane tune, and a 100 octane tune lol

@Anyone that knows Brock's car....My friend wants to race him, he doesn't think he can win but he thinks it might be close enough to run'em. It's a 96' Dakota with a 318 and a 5 speed cat back and Edelbrock intake. He raced the Mustang and it was about as bad as the Bimmer vs the Mustang.

As of the 14.0 runs the truck had some slight shifting issues and the fact that I'm running a 98 ls1 with a smaller cam(early model) with a 2001 computer, and a 2000 maf meter I'm sure I'm leaving a few ponies on the table, not much but if the truck was dialed in (one day hopefully) it may see more consistent 13.8-9's. Or if I ever pull the trigger on twin turbos then maybe it hit 11's IDK, but for now I need to truck to be more reliable and fun to drive, so the N/A route may be best.
