Since the prospect for custom cals is pretty low, I thought it is about time to start discussing the piggyback and interceptor boxes and other methods...
For the purposes of this discussion I am defining them this way:
-Piggyback: boxes that do not require you to cut the wiring harness, but can only add fuel and retard spark.
-Interceptor: boxes that require cutting the wiring harness, but can reduce/increase fuel and advance/retard spark.
-Auxillary injectors controllers: (AIC) boxes that control one or more extra injectors. (some of the Piggyback and Interceptor boxes have AIC functionality.)
Some of the information that I am looking for:
-List of the boxes/options
-Compatibility of the boxes with our stock sensors/injectors.
-Unique features (ie. one Piggyback has a RPM cutoff raising feature.)
-Unique ways to use standard features (ie. using an output to control the fuel pump speed.)
-Who is selling the boxes at a good price.
-How well they work with turbo and non-turbo applications.
-List of books and links that accurately talk about these. (not necessarily Mopar specific.)
-How-to examples (especially 3L specific) of how to install and tune a box.
What I would like to avoid in this thread:
-Talk about stand-alone units. That is a topic that could easily fill _many_ threads.
-Talk about custom cals that is not relavent to Piggyback, Interceptor, AIC and similar boxes. There is already a thread out there for custom cals.
Right now I am about 1 month away from needing one to test on a normally aspirated setup and 3-4 months from testing one on a turbo setup.
