    There is no "longevity" that you speak of. HPT is a permanent tune to your vehicle PCM designed to be modified, but it never goes bad. What kind of silliness are you speaking here Robert?

    Hondabond is awesome. I love that stuff. Super tacky.

    My thinking exactly.

    If you are tuned correctly, then there is no need for a Guardian feature nor do I see the need to ever run that.

    UCON is so 2015-2018. Let go @BassAckwards (no not the downloadable application, lol)

    Yeah looks like a poor choice of words on my part. I was really looking for long-term feedback from those running HP for a while :p

    Well my HP ECU is tuned for a 2.5 and i would like to go back up a couple sizes so that's why i was thinking throw the ol UCon back in there and let it do whatever it does lol

    You can run a larger pulley on your current tune. It’ll be ultra safe in that config.

    You do have your MPVI2, I can send you a 2.8 or whatever tune.

    or send the ECU back and I’ll update it at no charge.

    Thanks for the heads up Justin. I think i'll do that then and just throw a 2.6 on the truck and leave things alone for now. I appreciate your help as always :hattip:

    Tell me about it. One day you wake up and realize you're running a 1.87 and 900ml/min of water/meth.

    haha, yeah it was a spree. That will tend to happen when the SC had no cost to it. Won it in a raffle. :anonymous::anonymous::anonymous::anonymous::anonymous::anonymous::anonymous:

    Ok, did we figure out the truck yet? Has got to be one of you guys on here. Who has all those goodies and doesn’t peruse this page. Even the Figg reservoir (or Kel’s). Waiting to bear about roost y-pipe, back to the show.

    Lol its bc of all the UCon hate in here. I dont see anything wrong with it personally. I made a comparison a while back and overall performance numbers are almost the same

    UCON user here. URD has been pretty good about their service for me Just wish I had access to itronix software. Would make it much more powerful
