Thanks mate,
I have to say commendations to you also, that tune on my ute, wow!
Ok I haven’t managed to get it to do the crackle pop at the limit but the extra torque is fantastic. The throttle response coupled with the extra torque make it a far more enjoyable drive, simple things like taking advantage of that shortish left lane to get past someone dawdling along, now so easy. Previously I would put my foot down and count to three before I had a surge from the engine, during that pause I was ensuring I was in the correct gear or I had no chance. Now, plant your foot and only bother about gear selection if you were previously in 5th or 6th.
The fuel economy however has really got me stunned, now I haven’t done enough Kms yet to really have it worked out but the car’s computer has a little read out on the dash telling me how many km’s left in the tank. That has never read higher than 704km. After I topped up a week ago it read 780km, I drove to peakhurst, returned to connells point, drove home to smithfield and then noticed that I had used 1/8th of a tank and the read out still told me I had 750km left in the tank. I am down to half a tank now and it is still telling me that I have 450km left in the tank. Based on that I could potentially get an additional 200km per tank. Now I am just getting around town and am not driving it hard, but it’s a ute not a race car so I don’t drive it like a race car.
But have to say I am impressed!
