I know the answers may be well over my head but here goes:
Some of the newer high watt chip boxes coming out have different watt ceilings; 50w, 60w 80w 100w 120w 180w, and 200w.
1. i get that, but what about how low of resistance you can go?
I.e. the God 180w SMY has spec list that says do not go below .3 ohms. Is that just a safety guideline? or is the chip set not to go that low?
Someone said that its a waste of power if it won't go below .3 ohms
The Ranger okr 10amp is 50w (but will go higher than 50 - and lower ohms than the .34 ohms guideline)
2. My Raptor chip 120w boxes have a potentiometer and adjusts by volts... i can do the watts math, but is there a practical difference between VV and VW?
fwiw; I do know that the VA 120w box is PWM and has an annoying rattle, and i think it has some delay or lag time between clicking and actual firing of the coil there, thus seeming to be less desirable.
The Raptor is "linear" power and is more stable...?
The okr t10 chip is said by the maker to be "best" used at 10amp with a higher restance (.6 ohms) vs. lower ohms to get to 50w because lower resistance only makes the device work harder
I realize i'm throwing out ideas here in hopes of a better idea of how these newer chip boxes work and hope to get some of those differences in this type of thread.
