Oh that is too cool!  That would be a shocker on the street.  A normal 
looking truck like that keeping up!  I am really curious what this puppy will 
do in the quarter now!!  Do you have pics of your truck on Seans website yet?
Now I understand why you kept up with the Sy!

Maybe I missed something in your post but, that is what I thought.

They allow you to select different boost levels and timing programs.  The 3- 
bar setup allows the ecm to see and control boost above 14.7 psi, so the ECM 
can adjust fuel and timing values.  The result is proper timing and fueling 
for boost levels above 14.7 psi, which is not possible with the 2-bar system.
