Anyone have any experience with Big Stuff 3? If so I would like to hear from you especially if you are running a nitrous system...please post on this thread with your setup and experience.

I've used it on a Vortech Supercharged 383 before. It's really nice, it had a couple minor faults to me...but at the time I was very used to using the FAST system. The thing that annoyed me, was with FAST you could push the space-bar at anytime and if you were editing a table it would go right to the active part of the table that was being used so if you felt a dead spot or anything wrong a touch of the space bar would move the curser to that spot...Big Stuff doesn't do that which took me a while to relearn. Also, I thought I was going to really like the ability to remap all the X and Y axis on the graphs (something you can't do in FAST), but I *thought* when you did a remap that it would interpolate the values and adjust them accordingly to allow you to do dome very fine tuning of the fuel tables...but that's not the case, it leaves all the current values in teh table and just relabels tha axis which I found VERY annoying.

If I had to choose between Big Stuff and FAST it would be a hard choice for me...but again, that's mostly because I was very used to the FAST system previously.

Thanks for the comparisons. I am brainstorming the idea utilizing Big Stuff 3 with a really big nitrous system. The goal is to be able to turn up the nitrous in huge levels and still be safe with the tune. I am hoping the Big Stuff 3 will be able to create/monitor a margin of safety if I go beyond 500 horsepower with the nitrous with a good tune. I have it in my head that I can go beyond 1,000 horsepower with my 406 and a healthy hit of nitrous. Thanks again!
