I hope diamond G gets us a top end module soon.
Be there any instructions on how to do this? Do you figure that Diamond G will indeed be coming out with such a module?

DG appears to be working feverishly fast on it. I have a photo of the prototype on my website. They say it works very well. So far, it has cut .84 seconds off the 0-60 time.

The proto is big and ugly because they need to be able to add and subtract and change stuff.

The real one will be a teeny little black box (and waterproof).

Thanks nyroc! I guess what I'm chiefly interested in is the cooling aspect of this module. I already taken steps such as going with distilled water and Water Wetter, wraping the front exhaust pipe, and going with synthetic motor oil....and this has made a very noticable difference. But living in Southern California where "too darn hot today" is the norm, I'll likely always be looking for additional ways to cool my quad.

Moo,

WAM, I drove to Utah to visit the parents. Although it was cheap, it was very tiring. I drove because I had a bunch of things to carry there that would not be allowed to be shipped in the plane. Before that I had a dance to get ready for (I am a DJ sometimes). That took a lot of time to get the music, sound, and lighting together.

Wheelcow, sounds hot down there. I guess you have never driven through a puddle with 1" of ice on it. You migh consider doing what the owners of grizzlies do to keep from vapor locking. They install (or cut) vents in the panels above the engine. Every little bit of airflow counts.

I do not believe I have to worry about my cooling in this state, except for mud clogging. The holeshot and better tuning have made it work pretty good. The unlimiter will make it work even better.
