Default Blitz SBC -ID III Boost Controller & Power Meter i-D?

Anyone use the Blitz Power Meter i-D in tandem with the The SBC -ID III Boost Controller?

I have been thinking of getting the power meter to use the speed based boost MAP. It has other functionalilty, but the only thing I really care about is the speed based boost....seems like that will help with running higher boost settings on the street while minimizing the boost in the lower gears. Anyone every use it and have any thoughts on whether it works well? Looks pretty straight forward from an installtion perspective.

You can do an upgrade where you aren't buying the entire kit, it uses the same brain box but everything is doen with one unit and it's color!

Thanks! I guess for $450 vs $250 it's a no-brainer. The only down-side is that the color controller does not display in lbs. No biggie since I also have a boost guage in the a pillar. Are you guys using the color version?

Also...anyone know where the best place to find the speed signal on a 2001 C5 inside the car?

I'm running the color version but I haven't looked into finding where to pic up the speed signal yet. I know Dr. Phil has used it so I'm guessing he must know wheree
