    It has the 625hp cat program in it. from here I would have to go with PDI ECM tuning or simular.Also the bully dog sounds like a good choice. I am just looking to find some of the power that was sacraficed for emissions. I really want to get some advanced timing to it as that would increase fuel milage and make the engine run way smoother.

    If you are asking about Mr Haney I think he is a dealer for PDI but he also have other programs.

    He is a member here, look him up, he posts on many performance and others threads here.

    Intersted to see how this works, advancing timing with a couple of wire seems a little to good to be true.
    In the photos of the fitting instructions on their website you can see he has a yellow wire disconnected just above the lower left corner of the plug, the only yellow wire in that area of the plug you could tap into is the wire for the IVA oil pressure sensor.

    That is the part that scared me. It seems way to good to be true. only $250 for something that he tested for 1.8 mpg better fuel milage.He did say that this price is just to get a few of them out there and he plans to raise the price. He also told me that it adds NO extra fuel it just puts starts the fuel delivery 7 degrees sooner.
    I know I won't be the first guy on here to spend money to try to gain milage. If it does work like he says it will be a huge seller

    My fuel X-Tender arriver last week and I installed it. my fuel milage is about .7 MPG better. the egts are a bit lower and the engine has better throttle response. I have been using it for three days now and it seems to really work.
    PS I took the tape of my boost fooler device and it had just wires.no resistor in the wires so unless the resistor is in the plug itself that thing is a fake.

    What pins did you have to install the wires in, I can tell you what he is tapping in to. Also you may want to watch washing the engine around the plug you tapped in to with the spoons, if water gets in , it can get expensive....

    It installs into pin #62 on the front plug on the Acert ECM. It has that cover on it but I don't think it would be that good against a presser washer.
