Terry/Vorshlag, dare I say you guys entertain the idea of the 345 sitting on an 18x13?? I can smell the extra room in that fender from over here
We had an exceptionally good weekend racing at Motorsports ranch with NASA and we absolutely destroyed the TT3 record and posted class wins both days (7 cars)..
Slight, relevant tangent here:
What's the effective difference between the ABS modules?

They say it removes ABS and TC.
The Traction Control and Advance Trac features will be eliminated completely. ABS remains intact but is reprogrammed to focus more on ultimate braking performance instead of vehicle stability.
I would probably AVOID this upgrade for now, as most who have recently ordered the module are having issues with it working properly with their vehicles. I might be one of the only people (of the 5-6 that I know of who installed this unit) that it worked correctly for. Mine is the "-C" part number, not "-CA", however.
I think Ford Racing is looking into this, but I'm not 100% sure.
Once the situation is figured out with these units I would definitely recommend getting it.
The ABS programming that works better with ultimate braking performance and grippier tires than the standard ABS programming.....what am I missing?
You WANT ABS.can't u just pull the ABS fuse to deactivate it?
....what am I missing?
We are waiting for weather to brake so we can run the unit in a stock dash car and see if there is any difference between this and a car running an AIM unit (there shouldn't be as they only display info from the ECU). We believe that once the first few people run the car at the track the paranoia will reduce and people will get used to the dash warning lights. Just like they did with the last version.
I hope this clears up any questions

You WANT ABS.
QFT. I can't believe the number of idiot ricer friends I have who remove ABS "because you can stop faster without it" or "for weight reduction."...
You WANT ABS.
FWIW I bought the -C unit from you guys and as I mentioned it appears to be one of the ones that worked correctly from the get-go (much to my delight). I ran it without and now with AiM MXL Pista installed and worked great both ways; I'm guessing that won't be a factor. I hope your testing goes well once the weather breaks!
Thanks for the input, Bill. If anyone would know it would be you guys. Good to know that the -CA module is being favorably received at the Pro Road Racing levels. Nice jobs on the wins, by the way!Since that time, they have discontinued the C and have now released the M-2353-CA. This is the new unit, with a completely new program. They addressed some issues in the previous unit programming and calibrated it to work with more tire sizes and staggered fitments (PWC 2014).
With all that being said, the C and CA both will show multiple "faults" on the dash of a street car. We do not see these as we run an AIM standalone display unit. The C unit showed Traction and Stability due to those functions no longer being present. The CA shows a "check braking system" warning on the display, as well as the hand brake light. People are jumping to the conclusion that the unit is still not right due to the last bad batch. So far we have been running the new unit with 3 race wins in 4 weeks. Ford Racing will not confirm the units use in a street car with a stock dash due to the nature of the part (off-road competition use only). They don't want that unit run on the street, period. The lights are there as a warning to the driver that something is not as the factory intended. We have yet to run the new unit in any cars running the stock dash, but 4 of our cars have been out with the new unit already and all have worked as they should. Although each car has an AIM display, all are using a factory ECU and factory based tune (nothing exotic)
