I have TD flasher (assuming the same) no problems with android.For the life of me i can NOT get my gap flasher to connect to 2 different android phones. Tried every reset i could. Uninstalled app and installed, all permissions turned on, location on. wifi on and off. It only only saw the device 1 time but never would connect. Dave is telling me the apple phones work much better for this??

270hp tune runs good, I am still running the stock air intake and to be honest the factory system looks pretty good. The only opting is cut hood and run cai. The under hood idea is not a good one. I want to play around with helix, back when i ran a 325hp turbp m1000 cat i had good luck with a straight 40 or 42 degree helix. stock in this winder is 39 35 ir 35 39 cant remember.

Would that get clogged with snow? This is a mtx so sometimes I have snow coming over hoodThe GAP underhood cold air delivers all outside air.
I have had the Gap Cold air since they were first released and I have had zero issues.Would that get clogged with snow? This is a mtx so sometimes I have snow coming over hood
But...this was posted by another member in a previous thread on the Gap cold air kit, so I guess it depends on the conditions you operate the sled in.

I have went down the rabbit hole, i just ordered the header and 300hp tune from Dave. I will run the 270 90% of the time but for those times you want more i will have the option.

That screen is fine, you'd have to wonder how that snow gets in there unless the screen is broken.I have had the Gap Cold air since they were first released and I have had zero issues.
