Default Detcans V2

Its taken me longer than expected due to a new job, but I finally managed to churn out a batch of revised detcans.

I took feedback from the last batch and incorporated it into the new design. No more cheesy Velcro battery tie-down, a 9v battery holder is now integrated into the side of the case. There is also an on/off switch instead of needing the battery removed.

The input cable has been switched to a sturdier molded plug to prevent internal shorts due to heavy use. It is also thinner/more flexible and longer to boot .

I have 10 sets for sale, first come first served, etc. Price is $60 shipped anywhere in the US, for outside orders, please PM me for details.
Batteries/headphones not included.

It lets you listen to what's going on inside the engine...like detonation, the same way Dances with Bear listened to the ground for Manifest Destiny.

I remember being like #58 for the old list and you **** get to be on a new list.

If I were a noob I'd jump on this deal. Jeff is trustworthy and doesn't always do this.

Hehe, no lists this time, I'm only selling what I have on hand so I don't end up with a situation like last time .

Not necessary in this configuration.

EDIT:Your ear/brain is the filter in this case. These are an audio amp / microphone, not a piezo sensor. They are also not automatically triggering some other function such as pulling timing or illuminating an LED.

I have gen 1, and they work great. It's amazing how clearly you can hear what is going on inside the engine. Money well spent!

i used my like once, and I was glad I did.

I had just tuned my timing latency on my MS3. My timing was dropping a bunch during high RPMS and I had a lot of increase built into my timing map.

When i finally got it to hold steady to redline, I just received my detcan and was playing. I started noticing detonation in high rpms due to having way too much timing up top. Retarded my timing map a little beyond 6K and all was well again.

I've still got 5 of them available. Unfortunately I can't ship any out right now as I'm moving into a new house tomorrow morning and they are all packed away. I should be able to ship by the middle/end of the week though.

I'm glad they work well for those that bought them in the past .
