not manually, I let automatic box to do by itself
what were your 0-100kmh gains
I didnāt tested 0-100 as the most common speed intervals are 50-100 and 80-120 kmh on the roads I drive, so I was interested practically what is the gain on those
Still donāt understand why you are afraid to give us the details about your car unless what you are talking about is SNAKE OIL one size fits all.
I can gain a second or more without the box. first run shift at 3500 rmp, the rest of the runs shift at 6500 rpms.
most times are tested at 0-60 mph
It isnāt an additive, there are many performance enhancement products available, being a truck driver Iām sure you have heard of Bully Dog and Banks.
might be, but Iām not looking for that kind of racing approach 
Iām expected the car to do by itself using automatic boxā¦and it seems that it is doingā¦based on tests done by now
how are you timing the difference? does the box tell you or a stop watch?
Yes I realize it is not an additive bit I still think it is funny whenever the OP is asked for details he sidesteps the question every time.
OP will not give vehicle info or where he lives that this 1 second is so vital to his well being on the road passing other vehicles.

Without knowing about the vehicle you guys canāt challenge his claim, this is torture. On the other hand, if you are not interested in power modifications why does it matter?
I think the problem is why he wont be upfront on what his vehicle is. the 30mph-60 sec. gain seems like a lot. the new C8 corvette has a 0-60 time of 2.9 sec. I think if chevy put this box in the vette with no problems and gained a sec. they would, just for bragging rights. but thats just my opinion. which doesnt mean much. lol
Depending on which vehicle this DCT is in, Iād be loathe to do any real performance improvements without thoroughly researching the ability of the transmission to handle it. The DCT in my wifeās Veloster is fine, and has lasted a lot longer than I predicted it would when she got it, but Iām pretty sure it wouldnāt like handling much more power coming in from the engine.
So itās a good thing that this magic box probably isnāt doing bupkus. 
Depends a ton on the vehicle. Mainly, it depends on if the vehicle is turbocharged or not. Put a good tuner on a NA engine, your shift points are better, throttle response is improved, timing is raised a little (you have to use higher octane fuel, generally), and you get a little hp. Put a tune on a turbocharged engine and raise the boost, youāve got some real gains. Iāve driven an old Dodge with a Cummins diesel tuned vs stock back to back just for fun. Itās a world of difference there. Of course you void your warranty, increase your chances for engine damage, etc, etc. You have to pay to play, as they say.

Iāve even seen the common as dirt foxbody gtās (nice original ones with low miles) selling for $25-30k. Which would be reasonable if (like Shadowfax stated) you couldnāt buy something newer, nicer, and faster for less or the sameā¦with a warranty. I bet they will continue to go up in price as they become rarer and as the guys that wanted them when they were in high school get older.
My dad bought this a couple of months ago for low $30ās. I think itās one of the best looking Challengers Iāve seen.

thats why there was so many questions on OPs car. he would not say for some reason and put some doubt for a few of us.
Yeah, I get it. He might be schilling something, I dunno. Donāt care much. If heās not, then accusing him is kinda rude. If he isā¦well yāall got him, Sheriff.
The key word here is āgood.ā
I can understand how this thing is supposed to work, and I suspect itās possible that it even does work (after all normal boost control devices work). It supposedly intercepts sensor-generated values for things like RPM, boost, etc, and then lies to the ECU about what those values are.
So for instance if the ecu-controlled wastegate actuates at 20 pounds and your turbo is putting out 19 pounds of boost, this thing will tell the ecu that the turboās putting out 15 pounds of boost, so the ecu wonāt dump boost until the real boost is more like 25. (Imaginary numbers).
So, yeah, overboosting the turbo might well get you some pretty good gains, but at what cost? The box isnāt gonna build the engineās internals to take more boost, so you have to hope the factory was generous in overbuilding the engine beyond what they intended for it to handle and more importantly beyond what this box tricks the computer into allowing.
I also automatically dislike DTEās marketing section where they say that if your car is under warranty you can pay them to remove the device before service, then re-install it after service. Any time a business says āwe will help you lie,ā you should add āand we will also lie to youā to the end of that.
no, I wasnt accusing him. just dont understand what the secret is about his car. and trying to understand the gain better. like you said is it turbocharged or not.
