The RAD only does anti-defueling in 1 and 2 gear on an automatic, when the boost is above about 20psi. Is that what you are after?

what type of de-fueling are you after?



engine rpm redline de-fueling or the de-fueling the stock ecm does when it senses over 20psi boost pressure?



for the former there is edge drag comp, bluechip redline & i believe the smarty has this feature also to name a few.



for the later just about every aftermarket chip/box i can think of has provisions for that

oops the low rpm defuel in an auto.

The RAD is the only thing I know of that does that. When the RAD is turned on you lose the tach, and the idle control is also disabled (idle speed drops). It really is only designed for racing. Works will for that!

I talked to Bob W, and he said the smarty, will do that as well.

I dropped . 4 seconds off my 1/4 mile time from last year with Smarty, and that's being cautious with the stock output shaft I still have. Building boost at the line was a little tricky, once boost started to climb it just wanted to keep on going... QUICK. I would say it helped TQ management a bit.

yeah I heard that as well. I may buy a catcher ecm if I can get one cheap.
