    The instructions still say to use PCMFlash to read the SN off of the dongle...so that part is still outdated.

    The serial numbers should be the same, but it doesn't hurt to verify.

    It should be, but I didn't wait. I sent him the one printed on the dongle as soon as I could! lol Once I get home from work tonight, I can download the software and verify that they match.

    The instructions say to plug the dongle in to your PC and email the serial number. If you received the small black USB dongle, the serial number is also printed on one side, so you can get it without plugging in to your PC.

    Thanks for confirming that the S/N is the same! :thumbsup:



    Now we wait. Luckily this wait shouldn't be as long as the USPS wait.

    sorry for any delays guys, out of the office for a bit today.
    Several license keys sent out.
    if anyone has any issues your best bet is to email me for direct help.

    pending tune kit orders will be shipped out very soon. Next batch of dongles will be here any day now

    First drive on 91 and it’s pretty good, not quite the bottom end power I was expecting still kinda sluggish when I mash it hopefully it is just learning and such.. it definitely shifts nicer and does feel a little more powerful but I’m running 285 sst pro’s probably not helping...anyone out there running 285’s on an auto feel like it made a huge power difference down low?
