Could not help but notice you standing in front of a truly classic KW big bunk K-100C. The only thing more luxurious in the KW catalog in the late 70's through 90's was the Aerodyne. I'm guessing flashing an ECM is a bit like flashing the BIOS in a computer in that the word "uh-oh" is never a good utterance during the process.

Hi James looks like it took. That’ll pep Krystal right up. I must’ve missed it how much torque will it be making? I heard the 500 horsepower. Curious what was it originally set at? Krystal is coming along great. Stinks they sent the wrong elbows! And bad on that shop not getting in touch with you. They should have called when they didn’t have your order. Stay safe

@JamesPretty

3 күн бұрын

I put the 500/1850 tune in but went back to the 475/1750 because I didn't have the injector for the 500 and bigger tune.. thats gonna happen eventually but this one works very well

@darrencatenacci2737

3 күн бұрын

That stinks wrong injectors! Seems like a lot of work for that small a gain. Unless you can go up higher than 500 with the injectors. I’ve done almost the same change and as far as it seemed I really didn’t gain economy performance was only slightly better. But too remember I’m running 2500-3000 miles a week so I might be looking differently. But if it was mine biggest worry would be clutch rating.
