Dont forget the JB3 usually matches the HP and TQ,(i.e. 350WHP/350WTQ) so its not like you have a ton of TQ straining the tranny like some other and old tunes.

havent tested the JB3 on top of 73*F yet.(but it worked great as far as that goes)

In your opinion is there much difference between the SSTT & JB3? You don't seem to thrilled... Please answer honestly, there are is way to much hype that goes on around here. :wink:

What ive gathered from reading other peoples comments with both tunes is that they both run around the same for around the beginning but the JB3 excels alot more once you get into higher speeds where the SSTT starts to weaken or stop producing that same power you get in the beginning.. someone correct me if I am wrong...

But I spoke with one of the vendors on the site and they ensured me that Burger motor sports tested the JB3 in all conditions and 2 cars where autos and it was safe so I took his word and am waiting to get my JB3.
