Try Dave Erlilch at Autotrend diagnostics. I was a Rep for ACCEL for years, and he was always my "go to" guy for any DFI issues. Very thorough, very enthusiastic, and a great guy.

Mike - I owe ya!!! Actually, I owe alot of people on this forum at this point Crazy how some things come together. I did some research on Bob. Called him last Thursday. Long story short, we talked. He has the Gen VI software I needed on a laptop. Then he called back and said "hey, Im going to be at the Run to the Pines car show in Pinetop, AZ this weekend, how far is that from you?" I pulled out a map. It would only be about 4 hours away By FAR (10 hours closer than all my other options!) the best option I had. So I began running all day Friday looking for trailer and trying to get stuff ready to go down. It wasn't easy, but I made it down. I hooked up with Bob and Saturday. We hooked up the car, made some minor tweaks, and its running GREAT!!!! And I got to attend a great car show in a beautiful area of AZ. And Bob, I can't even say enough good things about him. Definitely knows his stuff, and great guy to deal with! Highly recommended to all southwesterners!!!

There is so much more to this story, but don't want to bore everyone. My main point is that for now, I am happy. After studying my setup, we found that it is not controlling (retarding) my timing automatically. It's not setup to do that. So I will be installing a FAST system in the next few weeks. The goal will be to have it all done for Scottsdale Goodguys.

I could not have done this without this forum Jody, I owe you also! You helped me along the path. I need to call Dan to let him know I'm good for now. Thanks again!

I am glad you called Bob. Bob has a way about him, he is a friend for life. He flys in this friday to spend a week with us to get our cars ready for the Playboy Mansion and SEMA. You made the right call going with him.....
Just wait until you get the new FAST system tuned by him.....

that's great Jason, glad it got figured out. Out of curiosity, was it lean? The timing deal is major on forced inductions, you have to be able to lower the timing in the boosted areas of the map. You'll be very happy with the FAST unit, one of my favorites.

It was lean. We richened it approx 20-25% across the curve. And the timing deal... I am learning about that. Due to the importance of it with boost, I am going to get it done quick and not drive very much. Don't want to take any chances. Thanks again!
