Steinbauer question on 2012+ FGs

[Mock Tender]

We have found ourselves in a few situations where more power would have been better. Trying to figure out what might give a 2015 FG (still under warranty) more power at all altitudes. Based on what I think I know, the Steinbauer with the prolonged fuel injection, it seems that would not work well at higher altitudes: less oxygen and more fuel.

So any Steinbauer users on the newer FGs with some good or bad experiences at lets say 3,500 to 12,000 feet operations?

What's truly needed is four more cylinders. Six would be even better.

I still haven't installed ours, but I seem to remember that Steinbauer said the module itself will derate the pulse amount if necessary. So it might not actually be an issue?

As with many of these things I think it's going to take empirical experience.

My warranty runs out in October, I'll be playing around with the systems more at that point. About the only things that happened on the 2012 were a DPG amber warning that went out soon enough, and a CEL light that looked to be a PCV issue, so I just cleared the code and will keep an eye on it. Didn't have any kind of derating happening, so non-critical.

I cannot speak for the US Steinbauer module (if it's different or not) but the with the Australian module I was told by the Steinbauer guys (that wrote the map for the FG Canter) that this derating functionality was disabled.
I should add, that was for my 2010 FG module. It might be different on the newer models.
