What can you tell us about this harness box?

I'm not having too much luck yet with harness boxes.

I did get a chance to run one in an LLY a while back, that had a turbo-bark from hell with the J/A. It felt as strong or stronger than the J/A L5 and did not have any turbo-bark. I liked it, but the customer chose the J/A anyway because of the Attitude.

It might be worth your while testing it if you haven't already got around to it. There are quite a few of us who really NEED MORE POWER! :D

Is this BS? 150hp for the LLY with a VA box? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33597&item=7949294765&rd=1

Most of VA's claims lately have been pretty accurate.

No sorry. Give mark a call. I am sure he can help you out.

Yes and no. The old LB7 versions were pretty sad. New versions that were developed here meet or exceed claims by 5HP. Problem is, they didn't necessarily choose the best files of the bunch for their release files.):h

150HP for the LLY is a pretty lofty goal...

Kennedy, what does not choosing the right files mean ? And have you had a chance to test this new tune out for the LLY and if so, what did you think ? Also, are you selling these or only Mark ?

Kennedy

I'll have some soon, but I'm not rushing into it until it is run on my truck.

As for not choosing the right files, the LB7 tunes released in their respective power level ratings may NOT be the best of those available...

Afternoon,

The OFFICIAL van Aaken HP levels are 70 and 130 NOT 150. You stack or do anything you like but be cautious with any of the extreme mods!

Just installed LLY Vanaaken. I'm trying to find a guy around here with 130 horses I can hook up to since nobody around here has a dyno. Can't seem to find a horse farm that big. Very impressed so far though. Nice smooth power but roads are snow covered so I haven't had a lot of chances to open 'er up.

Excellent response I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need to move to Kentucky, lots of horses there.
