330 PBX

HRC · 06-07-2010, 01:59 PM

I installed it yesterday. The car feels more responsive as described by most pbx owners. I don't know or care of any affect on MPG. I am happy with it so far and I am looking forward to even better performance once the pbx has some time to adjust.

Good to hear, damn I wish I can get one too. I need to go on a serious diet to save up the money for it....LOL.

Ya I really love mine. It is so worth the 300 bucks for the every day pleasure it provides. Simply turning it off for awhile makes me realize again and again how amazing it is. Really these cars need to come with 3 levels of throttle response, like the sport trannies only with the pbx max setting as a level 3 setting or something. I can see how all drivers would not like this but definetly should come from factory with this option like the Ms too.

The power is noticable as the first week I tried it I could easily tell it pushed me back in my seat more than usual on a stretch I have floored it to 7k about 40 times in the past 3 years-so not just a butt dyno but definetly noticable.

Overall even if it were just throttle response the 300 is so worth it

I have had a chance to drive the car for a couple of days now since I installed it and I really like it. I notice that I have changed my driving style. I now stay in the lower gears longer before I upshift. The car pulls real nice and the lag at takeoff is gone. My stock exhaust sounds better and I am triggering the traction control alot exiting corners.

Great product that really does change the dynamics of the car for a great price.

Do you have any other performance mods?

HRC · 06-09-2010, 11:54 AM

No go fast mods at all, just the PBX. Bone stock engine/exhuast.

After some miles, the box has "learned" and has increased the fun factor since I installed it.

Very happy,
Danny
