If you're a 2019-2020 adding in the BCM will definitely will get you 11 second potential just like pre-2019 models. GLWTS.

They "it should" was from you guys when I asked about if it'll provide noticeable gains.

"...Should help all maps a bit including map1"

Sounds like a standard statement.

What if more boost is more than your octane can support safely? What if you have an underlining spark plug issue that becomes exacerbated at higher boost levels? I think a better way of phrasing it is the BCM will allow you to build more boost. And in most cases more boost is a good thing. But it all depends on what you're looking to do exactly.

Agreed...more boost is a good thing and I think it's safe to assume most people buying the JB4 are looking for more boost

I loved the JB4 on my 2018 which is why I kept it to instal on my 2019. But to be honest I haven't read or gotten a straight answer on whether adding the BCM will in fact give me the gains I was seeing on my 2018 until this thread.

I see you have another thread with some sort of shifting issue so I'd work on resolving that before worrying about the BCM. Sounds like that is your major complaint at the moment?

Honestly no complaints...was just trying to figure that issue out.
