Questions about the piggyback

Sorry this question has probley been asked a ton of times please derect me where to look if it has. Is it true that the piggyback should be one of the last mods to be instaled? I am not sure why if it is true. can someone elaborate for me? I read that it will make up for loss of power for owning a cai (injen) in the bottem end. I purchesed the car a few weeks back and it came already with the cai, This is hard to anwser prob but how much am I really missing? I love the car! Will that mean if i get the piggyback it will seem like lots because I don't know what its like without the loss of low end? I think and hope it might!!!

Thanks

I think what is it is that the more mods you have on the car the better gains you're going to see from the piggy.

RRM advised that it works BEST with intake and exhaust. But it makes power anyhow.

I do have one question myself about it myself:

I run piggyback, intake and DP. With the CEL light on, it runs closed loop or whatever. Does this negate the effects of the Piggyback? If so, how?

A piggy should be one of your earliest mods. I'm getting one shortly, I think, instead of the new header/dp. The piggyback can be retuned as you add mods, assuming that you have access to a wideband o2 sensor, now that RRM includes the software.

how hard is it to just put a connector on it? So that whenever i go in for maintanence i can just unhook it and keep it in my dash?
Instead of splitting wires, i rather just have it connect to the ecu, is that easy to do?

I installed mine with spade connectors, one male, one female on the airflow wire, so I can unplug it and return the wiring to stock in less than a minute.

Really, there's only one wire to cut, and a few wires to connect. The cost of making an adapter harness just wouldn't make sense.

The piggy back can still modify signals, but the computer is running on default settings ignoring what your sensors are telling it. So if I understand the ECU system properly you will be modifying the default signals with the piggyback, gaining some power over what you would be getting if the piggy wasn't there but not nearly as much as you would without the SES light.

you can get quick-connect clips that allows you to not have to splice any wires. you can pick them up at any department storelike home depot or autozone. id like the piggy as well but i dont think 10HP is worth 450$
