^What were their reactions on the install? I don't think this would effect a tune though. I was thinking about it, if you were getting tuned, and turned this on during the tuning session, would it hinder the tune if the controller wasn't "on" and you were driving around with the tune? I doubt it would have an effect on the tune, just something I was pondering about. So did they really notice that big of a difference in their cars? One magazine had an article about it and really liked it. The reverse cable is a must though .

everyone so far has been really happy with it so far...much better throttle response. What's cool is that these are on Z's, and they are not known to have a laggy DBW at all! We're going to try it next on our '06 Si and our '08 Fit...which do have very laggy DBW's - they differences should be staggering

Def have an uber big crazy meet at my house! Its looking like September now, Geoff is getting my up-pipe perfect, and the ewg setup is being a pain, but Geoff with his crew will def get it done. Geoff and Full-Race are perfectionist, they won't have something go out if its not 110%, and thats why Full-Race is #1 in my book. More to come soon!

Braille 14.5lb CF battery arrived today along with custom mounting bracket. I will most likely sell the bracket and get the Braille mounting bracket to match the battery!.

JDM Dave, do you have a pic on how you mounted your with the Braille bracket? Greg, you running the same setup?
