Anyway, it would deb interesting if you could at least provide 0-60 times when comparing. That would really be helpful in truly measuring gains as you dial up the chip.

Also, how are you measuring catalytic temps? And what is DPF temp? Just curious as I don't think I've ever heard of this one.

Knowing the cat temp is good as you probably won't damage the cat itself, but the cat temp will give you an indication of EGT your engine is producing and this is VERY important. Piggy back chips are usually the worst offenders in creating high cylinder pressures which means high EGTs, which damage diesel engines quickly.

And shame on RC for not monitoring the forums anyway. Helpful posts would really pay dividends in sales, I'm sure.
I use a sensor reader that works whit the obd2 to read cat temp on bank 1, DPF= diesel partical filter a filter connected to the exhaust system (restricts motor by 15-20 hp) for
environmental reasons. I will check egt but that gauge have not been working properly.
I'm in f/6 now but I think the most gains are to be made in S setting 0-3 after that the gains for each wheel notch are slowing down. Try to get some 0-60 Times when the weather allows.
