Thats the reason he had to stop tuning. Maxed out fuel injectors and MAF.
Then he put a ProM 92, 55lb injectors and an intercooler, and then blew his engine from a broken valve spring, and gave up on the project.

Come on fella's, what do you want...blood? I have trouble believing that anyone posting on this thread has not, at one time or another, ***** talked in a moment of anger.
I believe I read that Don even said he could understand how Jerry got his panties in a bunch. Eatoncharged has been on that forum, stirring up crap for awhile now. I read his post history as well as Jerry's.
Maybe some that are having trouble with it should do likewise. It ticked me off too, at first glance. But after checking out the whole story...I have to put my stone down.
Eatoncharged had me hating Lightning owners after reading his worthless crap. Then I remembered I was a Lightning owner and I fricking dig the ***** out of me.
Rocks

The whole friggn' forum is a mouthpiece for SCT. I hope the website is getting a lot of money for losing their objectivity. The members, (not just EatonCharged) who persist in asking why SCT is superior, are pretty much b!tchslapped around by the moderators and other members until they shut up.
SCT has repeatedly--in several posts, in several threads--attacked all other 'tooners' that don't use SCT, and wasted no time in bashing Sal in the original thread that was locked at SCT's request. It's not just a flash of anger, it's a habitual disparaging attitude towards his peers and his customers. It doesn't matter if you have a superior product if you don't sell it to the customer (i.e. Betamax vs VHS.) As soon as a competitor produces a similar product (which they will) people won't put up with SCT's attitude.
There will be those who would even kiss Raoul's smelly (I'm just quoting the bus driver) butt to get a few hp. More power to ya...I'll pass.

It's kind of comical, and at the same time sad, that these SCT people are constantly slamming anyone who isn't using the SCT software. They act like nobody else in the tuning world knows anything besides them, and that the rest of the world is doing everything wrong. A perfect example is the MAF issue with load not being correct because "tooners" don't input the proper MAF x-fer for the meter being used. I've been doing that for years, since day 1 of me tuning, way before there ever was SCT. And I've told many people the same exact thing, but I guess because I'm not an "SCT person", that I must be wrong, even though I'm doing the same thing. The comical part of this is that one of the three SCT creators, Chris Johnson, used the same Autologic tuning software that I use/used for many years, did tuning the same way I did, but now any tuner that doesn't appear on the SCT dealer list doesn't know what they are doing.

Since I was going to do the Novi 2000 thing I thought it may be cheaper and easier to try "tooning" it myself. Besides I like to mess with the truck and learn.

It's really ashame that a company is trying to promote what looks like a good product, and ruining it all by trash talking all their competition instead of saying why their stuff is better.

Interesting that he has characterized ALL lightning owners after a few known troublemakers.
The funny thing is the attributes he hates about Lightning owners are found in EVERY Owner. Mustang, focus whatever...
VERY mature point of view
This is the same group that has ignored 3 or 4 emails asking for information about buying the product they are selling AND has ignored an email offering to help fix the PCMs for the folks who bought the flashers early on and a firmware issue scrambled thier PATS....
I have fixed 2 local SCT flasher users PCMs with my NGS so they could use PATS security again. I offered to help any other customer who was local and they igonored that email as well. But that would be admitting that they screwed up - I doubt based on what I read here and in the links that they would ever admit screweing up anyones PATS so I guess I was wasting my time...
