Mancini says they have no clue as to when they might see stock if ever. And the R/T Garage doesn't look like they sell them on their web site. Do they still make these? Thanks Last edited by 4406forPOWER; 09/09/14 01:11 PM.

So right now they are out of stock. I believe he still has some blems on the shelf with minor cosmetic flaws if you need one soon. Give him a call to be sure. Keith www.dunnuckracing.com

I hadn't heard of any issues and have been recommending them to guys looking to upgrade based on the testing.

So on a 450hp-600hp motor it's actually easy to see where a lagging box could give up 20hp-40hp in the upper range. So it's not that the Rev box adds hp it justs runs clean and correct and allows your motor to run better. Same with MSD, etc except it has a stock plug and look to it.

Kern Dog Striving for excellence Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 18,493 Granite Bay CA	My post here was deleted. I asked the guy that wrote.." never could get it to run right" what exactly he meant. His was a very vague statement. Not run right....could that mean it idled poorly? It revved slower? Misfire? Hard to start? Cut out at high rpms? What does "not run right" mean to that guy? We try to be helpful here, right? This unit has a rev limiter. Maybe the car "didn't run right" because the guy didn't set the limiter high enough and the car cut out at 3000 rpms. Troy from R/T garage includes instructions clearly stating the approved coils to use, the adjustments to the timing curve that may be necessary and the ballast resistor requirements. There is info on how to set the rev limiter. The instructions are so detailed, the only person that would have trouble is someone that simply pulled the ECU from the box and bolted it in place without reading a single word of the instructions. I had one of these but sold it because I wanted to run vacuum advance for better mpgs. The REV box is supposed to run better without vacuum advance.

I bought one to replace a chrome box , it worked ok for a little while No performance gains, zero ..none, period Car did not start as well , the tach needle jumped all over After using it for a few weeks after the 3rd or 4th run down the track, car would miss stumble, sputter I hated it , took it off, replaced it with a MSD Street fire box runs so much better, no misses but, they did refund me the cost of the box, no tax or shipping but I did get $199.00 back I would never ever buy another one ,ever The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.Proverbs 18:6

I e-mailed them about it, but they didn't seem to know what I was talking about. I would like to have more info about the vacuum advance situation. I have always ran it, and would like to now. I just haven't taken the time to experiment with it with this box, so it is unhooked. Has anyone experimented with vacuum advance with these boxes? What problems are associated with running vac advance? And can the issues be adjusted out? Master, again and still
