I am noticing idle issues with my GP and the JB+. Seems like once it starts to get at normal oil temp like around 10mins of running the car, the idle is bouncing like it wants to die (jumping around a lot). This is the second day in a row it did this in the morning outside temp been around the 40's. It will only happen once i am at a light, after i get to the next light which maybe 600ft it will run fine.

I posted my thoughts a few posts ago but, i have mixed feelings i can feel the difference right off the bat but once i hit around 3k and high to be it feels like its slower?? I have it set at 10oclock on the dial, so since its at a low setting i have no idea if that is why i feel this way. I like to run e83 but there's a lot of horror stories out there with running e85 in cars.

Not a the moment, ill see how it plays out, its only happens for a short time and twice so far.

What are the drawbacks of using the JB+ beta? I think it would be nice to add on demand the extra HP and torque. But I have a few questions.
1. It takes time for the car to adjust when it is in place. What happens when you remove it? Is there another adjustment backwards?
2. Does it adjust separately for normal and sport modes?
3. Do you need the CAN Tool to use the JB+?
4. Can I get one that takes away HP? (I got a daughter in college and she has a heavier foot than me!)

2. No it does not adjust separately. Its the same in normal and sport.
3. No you do not NEED the CAN Tool to use the JB+, but it's probably better because you can monitor boost and timing.
4. Not that I know of but you can keep it at or near stock by turning the dial all the way down.

The DME is programmed to compensate for higher pumping loses due to elevation (baro), intake temperatures, and other factors, by raising boost. The JB+ takes advantage of part of this logic. We have not done much high elevation JB+ testing but I expect at 4500' you will still see some benefit with the JB+. At 9,000' I'd expect almost no benefit.

I'm in Albuquerque, which Wikipedia says is 5300 ft. I've been really impressed with the JB+ and saw a big increase in acceleration. I ran it at the stock setting for a few weeks but dialed it back a notch last weekend since we only have 91 here. I wasn't having any problems with the stock setting, but I decided to play it safe.

if by opening up the breathing you mean getting an intake, you're not gonna help matters all that much. from what terry has been saying, the best insurance is one of 3 things - water/meth injection, higher octane, or 20% mix of e85 in your tank.
#896
Opening up the breathing I was looking more along the lines of an aftermarket FMIC. From my understanding the only true aftermarket CAI is the DoS for the R60/61. e85 is availible two minutes away from the house, so I could do the mix at any fill up I wanted. Personally though I wouldn't want to crank the pot unless I had more support than just higher octane / 20% e85.

neither would i. i'd use either/both for preventative purposes, not for pushing the envelope. terry's pretty high on e85. the closest station to me, unfortunately, is 20 highway mins away. =/

got it. fmic's are good, but all they do is offset some heat soak you'd get with the stock fmic. yeah, and even then, the improvements from what i've read aren't that drastic. but to each his own. neither would i. i'd use either/both for preventative purposes, not for pushing the envelope. terry's pretty high on e85. the closest station to me, unfortunately, is 20 highway mins away. =/
