I suppose that you would have already messed with your ECU by now if you were interested in making some cash on the side...I just want my car to pull like it did when I had stock rims on it because now, with my 20's, I can tell that it's lagging just enough to notice. Just want that extra kick to put me back up to where I was I guess...or even close to GERNBY's set up. I'm jealous GERNBY!

HAHA WHICH ONE OF YOU GURU's WANT TO MAKE SOME MONEY DAMNIT! I have the capital if you want to do some experimenting...

You sure something like that would be able to handle 12 injectors with 2 entirely different duty cycles and profiles? From the description, I would assume that the 12 injectors it can control would be for 12 cylinders that all need the same timing and pulse width.

BTW, I'm losing momentum again on my piggyback. I've gotten fat and lazy during my wife's pregnancy.

Chaser07

Yea I'm watching my brother go through the same thing right now, but with twins on the way, so I can only imagine...Only he's already fat & lazy

Let me get something straight first...Once you get your A/F "trial & error" runs out of the way, and unhook everything does the car remain programmed, or do you have to physically keep the Piggyback attached to the car in order for it to stay programmed. I am just used to things like "Superchips" on American vehicles so I really don't have the slightest clue of what goes on...

I'm just eager to go fast....then faster! BTW - Myself, Chase Blackson, holds the record on the Dallas North Tollway for having the "Fastest Speeding Ticket" on record! AND..I didn't go to jail...at 4am yup...I'm good!

I'm not familiar with the big iron electronics, but my piggy back has to remain connected. It doesn't actually tune the OEM ECU at all. It just makes the OEM ECU think conditions are different so that the outcome will be ideal.

What was the record for the tollway?

It's on a 250, but maybe they can make one for the 350 too.

The record that I set was 131mph. My Escort 8500 X50 caught his radar about 1 hill back, right after the George Bush turnpike, which is where I had been going 147-149. I down shifted so he wouldn't see my brake lights, I don't know why haha, but once I passed him I only got back down to 131 before he turned his lights on. The record before me was 111mph.

When they say Blackson, they mean me...Chase Blackson


HERES THE ARTICLE from WFAA channel 8 News: (I'll try to find the video)
Want to know how fast you can drive on the Dallas North Tollway without getting a ticket?

Thought you might.

What exactly is that magic line separating a smooth ride home from a big fine?

Officials say the Dallas North Tollway is not built for speed.

But with wide lanes, smooth roads, and long straightaways, it sure feels like it to Chase Blackson.

"Slower cars tend to cause more traffic," he said.

"I feel like a goober driving 55," said Kirk Collins.

When we asked them to try driving the speed limit, other cars zipped on by.

"I've even got a lady down writing directions down going faster than me," said Collins.

Why not just go ahead and increase the speed limit? If it were up to Blackson there might be no speed limit, at all.

"January 27th. Well, I got pulled over early in the morning going 131 in a 60. And got a little speeding ticket," he said.

Over the last year, Blackson got the fastest speeding ticket on the tollway.

He beat the next guy by 20 mph.

"Boys will be boys," he added.

The Texas Highway Patrol is not as amused.

"Rather than having the record of going fastest on the tollway, his family could be planning a funeral," said Sgt. Robert Bernard.

The message can be a tough sell, even after the patrol wrote up a driver for excessive speed, in the rain.

"I think they were mistaken. I thought I was doing the speed limit," said Matthew Coit.

But we found you can drive quite a bit faster than the speed limit and still avoid getting a ticket.

We reviewed thousands of tickets written on the tollway over a one-year period.

We found the number of tickets drops 85 percent between 70 and 69 miles an hour.

"I think I'll drive 69 now, instead of 70," said Collins.

The Texas Highway Patrol says its policy is to wink at drivers who go up to 4 mph over the speed limit.

But the state's own records show that number can be as large as 14 mph.

"We try to have some flexibility as well to allow people to drive at a speed that sometimes is above the speed limit. But not aggressively over the speed limit," Bernard said.

And "aggressively over the speed limit" doesn't even begin to describe Chase Blackson's top speed of 131 miles per hour.

Blackson said he has learned from his $285 ticket and is grateful he didn't go to jail. He promises not to do it again.

There's an interesting reason the speed limits feel a little slow on the tollway.

They're deliberately set 5 mph below what engineers recommend to reduce smog in North Texas.

Is there any way to talk your way out of ticket?

Perhaps not, but some patrol officers say there is something you can say to guarantee yourself a ticket.

They don't like it when you ask: "What seems to be the problem, officer?"

Nice video Chase. Your IS350 doing a burnout take off on the local news. Can't get better than that. Hope you have a copy of that footage at home. It would be priceless for you to see it again in 20 years.

I enjoyed the video, but it's a shame they didn't show your car better. It was hard to tell that it was an IS.

BTW, was that your idea to do the burnout?

Chaser07

Actually I had a friend with me that brought up the Idea.
