JB4 is simple to install, cost effective, has a resale value and is very effective at enhancing C43 performance!!

What map are you running? I don't have access 93 octane (only 91) to run map 2. They have a shell gas station with 100, but it's like $8 a gallon. I bought a JB4 and now I'm thinking it would have been more cost effective to purchase a tune for 91 octane.

Map 1 with 91
Map 2 or 3 with 93
I have access to pumps with 93 and 98 (very expensive and have never bought it)

Did you notice a difference running map 1 compared to stock? My JB4 had to be mailed back for a wiring issue..what's your 0-60 now?

Running in Map 0 (stock) the car feels numb by comparison to Maps 1, 2 or 3 where it does feel progressively more and more lively.

If I were to install downpipe with jb4 wouldn’t the check Engine light come on? Cause I know that the tuning companies would just deactivate the cel.

Yes, with an aftermarket catless (or even high flow cat) downpipe, you will get a CEL, and no, the JB4 will not suppress it.
