Maps Used: FA20Club Fuel Out/ Timing Standard and Fuel Out/Timing +
All of my mods in sig are current.
First impressions after approx 8 mile drive to gym and back

I disconnected the battery for 15 minutes to reset the ECU before this test:
Initially the pedal was unresponsive and the car bogged as you might expect after resetting the ECU.

On the way home, the ECU seemed to have adapted and the backfire was all but gone when downshifting! This could be due to using the "Fuel Out" map because it's running leaner. When I was running the Injen map, the car backfired and burbled constantly all of the way back down to idle...(Anyone with an unrestricted FA20 knows that this engine can make some sweet sounds. lol) I kind of miss that, but while actually revving, the engine just feels and sounds much, much more alive! The entire rev-range feels refined and responsive with more torque throughout. Since I have only driven it twice since resetting the ECU, I suspect that it will only continue to improve.

I would have tested 0-60 times versus my previous 6.8, but the used $40 Android a955 that I was using in my car solely for the Torque App seems to have died. lol Looks like I'll be investing in a Nexus 7 or something soon.

PS: Thanks Jack, you guys over at Unichip certainly know what you're doing!
