FWIW mine lets me turn off TRAC / VSC while in motion as well.

Yeah thinking it was prob all in my head.

John, with the fuel levels being accessible is it feasible to have the analog speedo read gallons remaining? Basically a much more accurate fuel gauge, where 130mph would equal 13 gals? Trying to think of a good use for it and that would have a lot of dial to work with for those last few gals. Know there are other priorities, but a thought.

I was thinking it would make a good boost gauge if you read it in bars or atms. But anything other then speed would probably throw off the gear indicator, the digital speedometer and possibly play head games with the abs and traction control. I'm pretty sure the cluster is just grabbing info off of a bus network. The info can be manipulated, but you have to be aware of what else is using that info.

By changing the instantaneous fuel consumption reading the average is most likely gonna be inaccurate (or more inaccurate) as well.

I agree, I have seen a decrease in average mpg and honestly have not been driving the car harder on the past tank of gas. I dont think the tune would get worse mileage if anything it should help.

Ok, I've got a question for everyone. What are your opinions of the latest throttle pedal mapping?

I'm pretty sure in previous tunes the pedal was mapped to be less aggressive, closer to stock. I'm really not enjoying this one aspect of the present tune. It felt cool at first, but when I'm putting around town it's just too much. It seems like I'm at full throttle before I get the pedal to half way. Also when accelerating from a stop there's a server ramp angle in the power delivery, things start off nice but then it's like I hit vtec. I'm not sure what rpm this happens at, I'm guessing around 2500, maybe a little earlier. It's usually quit a surprise.

Has anyone else noticed any of this?

Are you reffering to how the car pulls compared to previous maps, or how the car sounds? Because from what ive read the engine really opens up around 3,000rpms instead of 4,000 ( the growl ).

I'm not running the latest version yet but i feel like my current version the pedal is actually dead unless really pressing it. On initial take off it seems like i have to give it more gas now. Maybe I would like the newest tune.

Talking more a % fuel remaining being displayed directly with 100% being 130mph. Not sure if there are possible ill effects but I would think not. When changing maps the car doesn't actually think it's at 4000 rpms when choosing map 4 for example.

I'm not talking about how the car pulls, or the sound. I'm talking about drivability. The problem is I'm keeping the throttle pedal at the same position and not having an acceleration rate that increases predictably. Also, there's no difference in acceleration between having the throttle at half and at full. Every position of the throttle from half to full seems like it's actually wide open throttle at the engine. ( not to be rude, but you do realize that in a drive by wire setup you can change how the position of the throttle pedal relates to the position of the butterfly valve in the throttle body?)

answering to both of you as what you said seems similar.

hmm, that's food for thought. Maybe the problem is more that I'm too far into the throttle when it gets into the power band. I don't think that's it, but I'll watch for this tomorrow when I'm driving.

How long have you been running the version you're running? I ask because when I install a tune it takes a few days for things to settle out. For about a day I end up needing a lot of throttle to do anything.

I get what you're talking about. Good point about the rpms and choosing a map. I did forget that you're speedometer reads different then mine. Mine goes to 260 Km/h which if it was used as a boost gauge that reads in bars (260 km/h = 2.6 bar) would give a max of about 38 psi.

I drive about 50 miles a day and it normally takes a couple days for things to settle out for me. YMMV
