Did everything in like 50 minutes for the first time, didn't even save that much time by hurrying.

Only other criticisms for the JB4, are not having a digital boost gauge or digital IAT temp gauge since it can be a little tricky to read the fuel and temperature gauges when they're hijacked and you're trying to accelerate. Also I keep spinning stock tires at like 40 mph.. Man it sucks
You CAN hook up aftermarket gauges so it doesn't hijack the other stock ones?
