Upgraded my JB3
Finally, decided to take the next steps..............................
I shipped off my JB3 to Terry to upgrade to a JB4. While I was waiting for Terry to turn it around, I found someone local selling AR DPs so I picked them up. I figured that the JB4 would arrive next week but it arrived Saturday (yesterday) so today, my son and I installed it. The whole gauge / steering wheel controls are very, very nice. The DPs aren't on yet so I'm at map 1 and dam its nice. Bear in mind I've had the JB3 off for several weeks (dealer work) so I got used to stock all over again so its like getting a new car. Power pours on and its smooth. DPs next week and then map 2 here I come.

Awesome!
If you have 93 octane around you, a more free-flowing intake, and an axleback + midpipes I was told by Mike @ N54 tuning that it's alright to use Map 2 as well with just those mods. Just letting you know in case you wanna spend a little time on that map before the DP's come. Also Map 5 is generally between Maps 1 and 2 in terms of aggression for a moderately modded car that doesn't necessarily have downpipes.

Not with the 4 but I had dyno'ed my JB+. Did my 50 mile commute (all highway, speed limit 70 which means we all do 80) this morning and not only is all my power back (JB3/map5) but it seems smoother.

BMS Perf Filter, I swapped back to the OEM box. Primarily because it's summer here in florida and the heat is something else. Not sure from where but the BMS got dirty really fast. I'm waiting for AR to send me gaskets which should arrive this week and hopefully by this weekend the DPs will be installed. I'm also looking at a used AA FMIC. Sooo tempting, trying to resist.
