Flashed stock tune back onto car lastnight and swapped the 2BAR MAP back in. I have been running a Brad tune since a few days after I got the car. Never really drove it untuned. A new (old) project car is coming my way this winter so I am planning/thinking about pulling back the reigns on the SHO and making it more stock as my DD and the project will be the hellraiser for when I want to go play.
1st drive this morning into work. I did not really notice a big difference power wise in drive. throttle response and power seem about the same, smooth driving, power available when I wanted it. I did not get to do any WOT hits to see how it does at max power. I still have PPE Catted DP, colder plugs and K&N CAI in place for now. NO CEL so far with the cats and todays drive was all surface streets so plenty of on/off throttle to cycle the cats. hopefully traffic better tonight and take freeway home.
DO not think of this as a slight or poke at Brad when I say no noticeable difference in D. He did EXACTLY what I wanted in a tune, I told him I wanted a Jekyl and Hyde. Super mellow and docile in D, BEAST in Sport. Sport mode I could definitely tell a difference. The car is still quick and responsive, but the Brad tune in sport mode is just a whole different ballgame. Brad's tune the car literally changes tone, trans seems to lock up tighter, often drops a gear, boost comes up and the throttle response is incredible. Like a squirrel drinking a jolt cola, just ready to rumble.
One big test will be this weekend when I drive to Vancouver again, 2 weeks ago with tune I ran 25.5mpg. Be interesting to see how it does stock.
