Seems to be out and discontinuing the F3V2 and QH.

SCT 6600 will work but who knows how long before they're dumped.

Heads up

Wonder if they got hit by the EPA, seems like they discontinued a lot of their stuff, not just the Ford stuff.

I think the software will be hard to stop, but they could make aftermarket tuning components illegal to manufacture.
I think the push for electric cars kind of flows with giving us a fence or geofence where we can travel or not travel past. Digital currency would also work hand in hand with that.

I thought I read somewhere that discontinuing the quarterhorse was due to no available source for the specific chip it uses for the foreseeable future. Same with the F3V2. Until Moates says why, we're all just guessing.
