Whattt Helix Attache!!

Ok WOW just watched this vid and the helix car pulls super hard . I don't have jb3 or procede rev II but does Anyone know if either tune is actually any better then the helix attache? Would love to see a race.Even though its only a Procede 1.47 i would imagine real world improvements to v3 couldn't be much better then the Helix.

First never compare Auto and Manual. second use always the same supporting mods. The Helix attache was a really good tune at that time. but we dont know what happend. It's still the only one comparable with Procede. engineering wise.

no doubt about it, the attache pulled like a rocket. its still the strongest tune in regards to the butt dyno that i have run out of sstt, v1, jb3 (currently running 1.22). i ran into quite a few issues but then again was one of the early adopters of the tune. very cool group of guys at helix as well!

same way I felt about it....I ended up trading my Attache for a tri color M3 wheel. Do love that wheel though!

Well my new question is . If everyone is so impressed by it how come only a few members actually have it . As far as dyno numbers did it put anything near jb3 or V3? Do they even make it anymore .

Ask turbobullet he is doing the maps for the unit.
I think you will hear them again.. Turbo / Fuel system Upgrade...

I'm still running the Attache and I'm happy as hell with its performance. I just wish they had a PnP option and an easy way to switch maps (V3/JB3 style).

If you are a beginner I would not attempt this as it would take some adjustments on certain wires that are different or missing.
that could get mighty complicated, but its doable I would think.

was just thinking the same thing... def not for a beginner, but doable if you know what ur doing.

I ran the Attache for a while too... one of the early guys, before i switched over to the JB3. Like everyone else said, pulled very hard!

Yeah, that'd be quite a project but still a one-off, not much of a solution for all Helix users out there.

Anyway, that's half of the prob, this awesome pull from the Attache is kinda of a problem in the winter too, last time I remember getting decent traction was back in Oct before I put my winters on. Having a low-boost map available for rain/snow days would be nice!

With good weather the Attache is a blast. I put down 339 whp in the last dyno which is not bad at all for just a piggyback
