OFT and P&L Header works great! Thanks Shiv!

I had been running a UniChip in my BRZ and it worked great...until I added a 'catted' P&L header. I never could get any of the UniChip maps to work for me-- regularly throwing a couple of CELs (generally for 'too rich') and tunes that really didn't want to work after I started running the car harder for Auto-X events.

But, yesterday I installed OFT and tried out a couple of the tunes and BOY OH BOY what a difference.

As to my setup.... I also have a Perrin overpipe and an Isis exhaust with a 2nd cat delete. The car is a little on the loud side, but the roar is deep and quite pleasing to my ears.

Thanks Shiv and OFT!

Now... come up with a tune for a Jackson Supercharger, Shiv, and I'll die a happy man.

MPG UPDATE-- Just went through two tanks of gas with the 93 octane tune and averaged just under 28mpg with 'lite' city driving (and a number of 'acceleration tests') and just over 32mpg with a mix of city and highway.

93 octane really gets that much better mileage vs CA91?!? I dont think I can get anywhere close to 30mpg if I kept throttle under 10% for an entire tank.

Sorry to bring up old thread. Do you mind me asking which OFT map/tune you used? OR was it custom done by Shiv? Thinking about going the same route. Thanks!
