Ripp mods black box, will it work for custom turbo set up? Options

[orvillescelica]

I was reading up on the black box that Ripp Mods has that comes with their SC system. Its seems to come preprogrammed for boost and seems to work very reliably in controlling their fuel and timing concerns. I was wondering if I was to put together a custom turbo system and use their black box, would this not eliminate the need for a MSD 6a and a SAFC? An MSD and SAFC together will cost $650, whereas the Ripp Mods Black box cant cost more than $400 by itself. I don’t know if they sell the black box separately, but its just a thought.

Nope. Its calibrated for what they're using it for and nothing else. It has no user adjustability. I'm sure you could make your car run with it. But it would run like crap and you would probably detonate and blow the thing up. So whats the point? Don't be a cheapskate. Do it right the first time.
