Originally had a Logisystems 750A controller
with a PB-6 throttle. First upgrade was the
Zilla controller. I am very happy with this
controllers performance. The water cooling
was a must, I ran the truck without the water
cooling and within 5 miles at about 40 mph I
was hitting the thermal cutback.
