Hi Mad,
Sorry, I'm probably not going to be much help to you on this I'm afraid!
If you are asking if we will try changing that in the hopes of providing increased compression braking, as I understand the issue, the answer is no.
Unless it is something that will result in increasing/improving the power ouput and performance of the vehicle in a signficant way, Superchips is not going to spend R&D time on it.
It's not like that can just be changed easily, without knowing where that function (assuming it's actually a separate function affecting nothing else, which might be a big assumption) is located and how large the control area is, only painstaking reverse engineering would ever be able to make that happen in the aftermarket. It's easy to say "sure, that can be done in the program," but in reality, it's nothing like that. There are thousands of lines of hex code, and nothing to tell anyone where any function is, what area does what, or anything else, that is all learned only by painstaking R&D, mostly reverse engineering, an extremely expensive & time consuming process.

Hi Mad,
You're very welcome, & sorry I was basically of no help at all.
If the engineer who gave you the kind response in that other thread would like to provide us with an address range, etc., then we could easily go in and do that, but without that kind of knoweldge, reverse-engineering is the only way, sorry!
