    I coast down from 6th all the time. Once I’ve slowed down, I’ll move to second and start again if I’m still rolling or drop to 1st if I stop completely

    I’ll also skip gears when I accelerate. I suppose that’s not allowed either..

    I double down and even triple down all the time when decelerating quickly. The rpms barely move when just dropping one gear. But hey, rules are rules

    Hand over your keys. You're done.

    :rolleyes:

    I like to drive this way, too.... Or however I want to in general. It depends on how the mood strikes me. That's the whole point of shifting your own gears, right? Do it your way. :cheers:

    I'm sorry, but that's a direct violation of our current regulations. Time to trade for an autoo_O

    Theres a huge differenc between a race car and a production line truck.

    Race engines are typically blueprinted and balanced, the crank is usually knife edged to reduce drag through the oil and to reduce rotating mass and angular momentum allowing it to rev up and down quicker. Also race cars typically run a much lighter flywheel again contributing to quicker revs.

    You cant really compare the two.

    SO, @Shellshock

    How long to set up this server, ballpark?

    'Cause you know it'll be flawless right from POST to online.

    Sometimes I'll hold all of the window up switches up while the windows are already up. Fuck the police.

    Longer than expected because Amazon sent the wrong thing. Instead of a nice new server we got a baby crib. Wtf.
    No worries a replacement will be here Monday.

    Kind of a weird question and I'm not sure if it's already been answered, but is there a way to double check using the flashing software to see what tune file is currently loaded on the truck?

    That is the beauty of the tune. It is not detectable. So, all that you will ever see is the stock ECU ID.

    No way to see that from the truck. I checked the logs from pcm flash and it tells you the last file flashed. Not sure if p5flash has that too
