Just some basic questions.

Thanks for the reply Cody, answered my questions perfectly.

The high idle thing, thats exactly what I was talking about.. Glad to hear it can be done the way I want it.

I have little doubt I can make the tranny shift the way I want it to, just going to take time. There was a time I had considered swapping a 5R110 in the truck, with a standalone controller, until I started reading about the way the tranny operates, no way I want to mess with that. I dont have that much time LOL.


I figured I could burn to the chip as many times as I wanted. Just wanted to make sure there wasnt a firmware block or something limiting you to 10 burns or something crazy like that.

The manual is no big deal, I have experience with different tuning programs, so it shouldnt be a big deal to figure out. The things I cant figure out, well, thats why the forum is here.. Once my stuff comes in ( looks like it's shipping today ) I'll never look at the manual anyways LOL ( unless it has pictures )..

Having to buy a licence for each computer would suck, but thats the way many tuning programs are so it's no big deal.. I'll just have to really put some thought into which computer I'm going to use..

One question does come up with the licence thing. I'm very hard on laptops, I had a nice Acer that was 6 months old I was using to tune my 79 Mustang. Forgot it in the car when I went to make a pass. It didnt survive the 5K RPM 10 PSI launch, flew across the car and busted the screen. 300 bucks for a screen and a few hrs later it was "new" again.. So, I'm guessing if I trash a laptop that has Minotaur on it, I would have to contact Bill?

You'll have to contact Bill to re-register. I'll go through my situation: Had a school laptop when first purchased, installed, and registered. Hard drive failed, so I had to reinstall/re-register on that same computer with a new hard drive. Laptops are turned in bi-annually, so I got my files off before they clear the hard drive when they collect them. I ended up going with my own laptop and registered for the third time, hopefully this time is the charm. You shouldn't have a problem re-registering, if you have another incident like the Mustang and laptop.

Thats good to know on re-registering. I think I've figured out which computer I'm going to use, the same computer I trashed the screen in.. I've been thinking about getting a toughbook, put all of my automotive related stuff on it. Then I wont have to worry so much about messing up a computer. I would have done it a long time ago, but they dont give Toughbooks away LOL

Corey, it might be under Dale Lewis, thats my "real" name. Colt is my middle name and what I go by.. I can never remember which name I use for what HAHA.. If that doesnt do it, I'm the moron that put down like 10 custom tunes ( not thinking that night at all ), you had Cody call me to figure out what I really wanted before I racked up 600 dollars worth of tunes . Then when you guys tried to run my card it wouldnt go through. That was due to a half wore off number at the end I had to guess at, and guessed wrong

I have all the tracking info on it, shows it was picked up at 5:01pm, then left Athen's ( fun little town, I'm in Athen's once every 3 yrs for a Carrier service managers meeting ) at 9:13
