The actual system hardware has been ready for over a year. We made sure to take early delivery of our in house 2012 in September 2011 to get jump on it. The sticking point is, as it always has been the locked ecu. Meaning, that Chrysler (unlike Ford or GM) put in an encryption on all PCM's since 2011 to prevent aftermarket tuners/manufactures from changing any of the factory settings in the ECU. It wasn't until Nov./Dec. 2012 that we were able to get through the encryption and a new Diablo tool had to be created. After that was created and shown to work, new mapping pages had to be created so that the ECU would understand when it saw air pressure above atmospheric levels (boost). Now it is a matter of releasing a tune that is ready to go, unlike what alot of our competitors do. We want the experience to be a trouble free, enjoyable driving experience, a CEL free experience. Work is done all day, everyday. We are known to have the best systems for your 2007-2011 jk because of our quality control and tune. We want the same for our new program.
So far we have seen over 320 whp and 305 wtq

Coming from my 2000 lightning (whipple 2.3L supercharger at 16psi) i am glad you are working on the tune. I tried a couple diff places for a good tune with my truck. With those trucks a bad tune and cold temps would blow the stock motor under boost. So i am happy to wait for you to get the tune spot on. Could you share some info on your test jeep? Things like is the jeep a 6spd or auto? Tire size? Stock exhaust? Are those dyno numbers STD or SAE? What octane gas and boost psi? I know its a lot of questions but i have always had fast cars and one was boosted so these are some of the things i would like to know more about. Thanks for your time and effort.
The numbers 320 whp and 305 wtq mean nothing to me with out the above information, plus base line information. I've seen dynos read +- 50 rwhp just based on the type of dyno and how it was calibrated.

Uh, check your math. 30-33% loss would give you 416 - 425 hp, not 475. Also, not sure if the 30-33% loss is that accurate. Maybe more like 20-25% loss.
Still not bad, but far less than 475 at the crank.

As for math, regardless of what the claimed loss may be:
475 x .66 = 313.5
475 - 33% (156.75) = 318.25
No?
How are you getting 416-425?
You're not adding 33% to 320? That's incorrect - check your math.
