put over 200 miles since friday. still runs nice - no issues what so ever.

(been having some fun!)

the tuner also upped the boost limit. he said it'll reach 20-21psi. but i've only had it up to 18psi so far. (before i've only seen max 16psi and at >100mph that's was plenty.) i've notice that it reaches 18psi alot faster and easier - so i'm alittle surprised at that.

very nice tune. still runs about 189-194 along long drives - which is nice.

engine seems to be running the best its been. removing those torque limiters really makes a difference.

BTW: would be nice if someone could setup a 'RL tune shootout'!
nationals maybe??

(like the old TCP shootout for the ARPAnet. see who has the fastest TCP implementation.)

would be nice to see BSR/Wester/RPI and GM (probably out be then??) comparison. either dynos and/or runs. (now we can do manuals and even autos!!)

i think all the tunes out there tweak about the same parameters/tables. (i thought some were not cracked yet - like the rpm limit. but i can now rev my auto >4k rpm in park!!)

i'll put some more miles on this week. i want to check gas milage also. since the AFR tables were tweaked, it might improve mpg??

later
