    I had several conversations with this guy prior to starting my project. His is light weight and I honestly wanted a very different look. I like his ideas and direction though.

    If I...... My friend stays in it for a real long time it will slowly climb but the difference between 90 and 95 and 95 plus is obscene.

    I have a plug-in connector on the subwoofer cord. That way if I need the space, the sub stays in the garage. I can feel the bass, the car next to me can feel the bass, the neighbors can feel the bass... The place I bought this system from doesn't sell under-the-seat subs any longer. The sound quality is "off". 17019143553598892291876424664612.jpg 17019145155294312477815922970556.jpg

    If you regeared, that can happen if a tune isn’t added to fix it. Otherwise you might just have a heavy pig that don’t wanna do it. Or maybe there’s something funky in your tune (I think you have one if I remember right)

    If you say so lol. So, the biggest and most annoying thing is the fact that it's literally impossible to creep along at a safe parking lot speed. You either go at idle or if you give it a little more throttle and it bucks like a bronco, and then if you give it enough throttle to avoid the bucking then you're going too fast in a parking lot. It's worse when it's cold. Leaving the work parking lot it's like someone lugging a manual transmission terribly. The next issue is the tuner swears up and down that the increased rev limit applies when ECT is on as well as off but on my truck the increased rev limit definitely only applies in regular and not in ECT. Last issue that I'm not sure the tune can fix or not but I kind of expected it to, would be passing power and transmission performance. Sometimes when I pass people it seems like I don't even have a tune (passing power and sometimes quite a wait for it to find the right gear and take off)

    you are not the first person I’ve seen say that and I had similar complaints with the manual tune I tested way back in the day for them.

    Personally I want the throttle response similar to stock… one of the early ov test tunes had a super aggressive throttle which was fun until you had to drive it every day or it was slick outside.
