I attempted to reset the ride height on the controller as well as flash the latest firmware (for better velocity control) and the unit would not connect to my laptop. I tried a different driver as well as multiple COM and USB ports and nothing would work with the unit. DSC asked for me to send it back so that they could update it and send me a replacement unit in a couple of weeks when new ones arrive. Great customer service. I've since mailed it off to them and am running the OEM hardware. The differences are all nuanced but there are a lot of them. The car is definitely not as good at handling now. It's going to be a long 2-3 weeks

It really made the Camaro feel more responsive and much more sports car-like. I'm kind of shocked at how without it, the 1LE suspension'd Camaro feels sluggish haha.

Going to email them this week. The part still shows backordered on their website. Car is parked in the garage. Replacing the MAP sensor and i've been waiting almost two weeks for USPS to get it to me. Local BMW dealership just had this show up to kick me in the nuts while I wait: https://www.richmondbmwmidlothian.co...df512471ef.htm Every option I wanted with the right color combo too.  Life is hilarious.

Might have been easier to just go buy a MAP sensor locally, go figure
 DSC support seems to be a total cluster****, too bad... 911 is pretty, but why such a boring color? haha |

Next time, I'll try the local dealer for sure. Yeah, it's not the greatest at all. I will say that the box makes a very noticeable and nice difference but factory mag ride is also more comfortable. Haha, I like the boring gray color with black interior. Throw on some black Fuchs. Red seatbelts to make it pop.

Doubtful, but I can check. The DTCs aren't popping a CEL surprisingly. The car did stall out, but was drivable. It just felt like a massive air leak and certain RPMs and gears the engine wouldn't accelerate. I'd be more worried but oil pressure, oil temp, coolant temps were all fine and no leaks under the car or in the engine bay. It's possible that the air intake manifold has a crack in it somewhere, but nothing is visible. Was hoping for a quick triage. I have a torque wrench for inch lbs coming in the mail tomorrow to verify the bolts on the IM are done correctly but I'm not too worried about that... I've been driving just fine on this setup since last year with the only change being the CAI (and that's tightened down). reasons are good to grab a DSC box. It made the Camaro super agile and got rid of the minimal squat and dive that the 1LE suspension had. With the DSC box, I've never had a better handling car.

me too, wish GM would release a retro kit. The aftermarket is on the verge of figuring out the retrofit for the PDR setup.

PDR would be so much more interesting if the camera wasn't a potato cam, lol.
So it has less suspension movement but still puts down power better on corner exit? wow, they must have it tuned really well |

I think they're upgrading the camera for 2019, but that redesign is ugly as ****.Yup. It's constantly changing the shock response so that it can do both.

Yeah the '19 body refresh is atrocious. Not sure what GM was thinking...
Man, I would love to back-to-back one of these units. Pricey to do so. I need to get famous so DSC can advertise me testing it like they did with Randy Pobst  haha

Yeah, if that's the attitude they're going to have I can't see the sales figures ever catching the Mustang.
I'd love to do the DSC box test at an autocross and I'm not sure I want to push your baby that hard, and street class rules for autocross may be allowing the DSC box (or other replacements like reprogramming OEM controller) next year. |

You do wonder what Chevy's intended sales volume targets were for the 6th gen and how it is living up to the ROI on the development spend, etc. but without working there, no way to know those metrics. You can beat the hell out of the car if you want. I'm not worried about anything mechanical breaking (MAP sensor arrived today).

https://www.richmondbmwmidlothian.co...df512471ef.htm This keeps haunting me Put in the new MAP sensor last night, verified torque settings on the IM, cleared the DTCs and sent logs off to a buddy of mine to look at. STFT/LTFT's look to be slightly off but nothing drastic. Vacuum at idle is 32kpa, so if there is a leak it's not much.
