here here...same reason I went roots. I care about 0 to 60, not so much later stuff. What's Allen take on the no low end. Didn't you dyno? What was your low power band A/F? do you have pics of the graph/dyno to post?

Man.....I don't know. When I put mine on, even with the Mag tune, if I hit the throttle too hard at a light, it Smoke city with the tires! Now, mine's quite a bit lighter (rcsb). You need to call Mag, and talk directly to Brian, he'll do everything he can to help. Taking it back off, and sending it back, to me, would be a last resort. Although.....it seems you're awful close to that point right now.

I'll get the pix of the pulls later this am and post 'em. Allen's been working with me to get his tune right. !st one he sent he forgot to put my VIN, second ran way rich (AFR was off the guage), idled rough and thru an engine lite right away (not sure the code as I didn't have the reader), and I cud smell fuel. He just sent another update yest. Right now driving the one with the bad VIN...have to turn key 2/3rds to cycle the warnings/security and then engage the starter, otherwise starter fires, but engine won't enage. R/

Just because allen's tune doesn't display the P0300 misfire code doesn't mean that its not misfiring. Turning down misfire sensitivity (or disabling the light) is a common tuning practice.

Allen's done enough Radix tunes that he should be able to get it 99% right on the first PCM he sent. Not sure why his first two shots at it were so messed up.

Again, you need to install the supplied tune and trouble shoot from there. Returning here daily and beating the dead horse will get you nowhere fast.
Please let me know if you intend on taking the advice I have given you, if you do not we will proceed with the buy back of your supercharger system.
