-So far the car gets better mileage
-Higher rev limit
-noticeable power increase
-feels alot smoother and less hesitation in the lower rpm band
-torque dips isnt that noticeable anymore
-Passing power has improved
-no more crappy idle

sorry if I missed something but are there dynos on this?

I was just worried when I read the part where you said that driving an extra 30 miles would increase your mpgs from 36 to 39.. hopefully that was a mis-type or accident or something.

No offense meant.. I'm glad your testing things out and I'm really happy to hear about all the positives from the tune.

No its cool lol...no hard feelings. i only said that because someone had asked if i changed my driving habits because they get around 34-35mpg and i said no i didnt but i was stuck in traffic forever during these tests. Maybe i shouldnt have said that i would get higher mpg if i ran to E because now that im reading it, it does sound mis leading. I was just putting it out there that i stopped the car when the gas light came on because thats how i did the last two tests on the stock tune and i didnt want to change my testing procedure just in case anybody would have asked why i didn't stop at E. I feel like there's more gas in my tank than i think i have because during the run the gas light kept switching on and off. The place where i did the run is literally a min from my house and as soon as i stopped i parked my car right there so i added only 1.6 miles to the trip. just in case ppl were wondering
Sorry again for the mixed up bro, that was my fault not yours

My questions: How is this tuning software going to be released to the public as a product? Or .. will it be?

moar vids!!

Can we swap the flash on our own car using a laptop or cellphone? Also does the ECU keep a flash count or something like it where they can bitch about warranty work?

If the tune nets my car 10+ wheel hp for 800-900 dollars I would pick it up. I ordered a SRT header back exhaust and plan on running an intake as well - so if I net 20hp at the wheels I would be quite happy (exhaust is dyno'd to add between 8-12 whp depending on rpm)

That makes sense with a turbo but the fact of the matter is the car is N/A and this thread is just talking about the tune itself. So bringing a turbo into the mix is irrelevant right now. I agree though, 10+ WHP for under a grand. Sign me up.

Before i put up my fill-up and begin to start test#2 im sorry for the mix up guys and im sorry for those that wanted me to post up some more runs. Im still continuing my testing and i just dont want to interfere with them.
Ok so before i give my fill-up i just want to tell you the story behind it really quick before people jump all over me lol. I had a 50 dollar gift card from shell that i did not use fully. So i used the rest of the car which came out to 33.46 and gave me 8.494 gallons at 3.939 per gallon. Then i went ahead and used my debit card to fill the rest of the car up and even recorded the last fill-up so you guys can hear the click telling me that the car is topped off which was another 0.774 at 4.239 because i payed by debit. So if u add these numbers together 8.494+0.774 equals 9.268. Take the 329.3 miles(miles i had at gas station forget to take a picture sorry) traveled and divide by 9.268 we get the magic number 35.53mpg .

filled up with gift card(i was broke so i had to use it guys lol)

Showing you that my car is topped off and past F.

Torque App Showing you that my car is 100% filled up. I cudnt take a video of the app running as im filling up my car but next time i will. Values were not reset so dont pay any mind just wanted u to the gas percentage

I promise guys that once this second test is done i will post up a bunch of videos of 0-60's 0-100's and even try a quarter mile run. As for the viewers watching this thread, is there any other data that guys want to besides the data i already put up. Anything you guys want me to do differently? Im open to suggestions and dont worry i can handle criticism so just let me know. And if someone throws out an idea and you like it, just thank his post for me.

Very nice! 35.5 mpg is fantastic!! Especially given a mix of city and highway.

Thanx! While others might be more interested in Power im more interested in the MPG because i travel quite a distance to work and saving gas is a benefit for me. To have more power and be more fuel efficient is always great to hear in the same sentence. The tune is great and i feel is worth the money when your getting 8+hp throughout your power band. I had a 2011 Scion tC before this and put headers, intake, exhaust, pulley, short shifter, throttle controller. I spent over 1300+ to only gain 13+ and like 7lbs of torque and to top it all off i went from getting 25-26mpg to about 19mpg. So to just have something so simple as a tune that requires no installation besides a plug and 10-15mins of your time and gain power throughout the whole powerband while saving gas makes me feel like this.

That looks like the stock torque gap!!!

[brichard0625]

For the second test i will keep it strictly highway as much as i can and see if i can reach my goal which is 37mpg. Traffic really messed me up on this test especially the last day of the test!
