    I just flashed with the OG PCMF and it worked fine for me too. I haven't tried to figure out where the new version is lol

    So I only have 13mi on 1.04A 91oct but I do have to say, it's very reminiscent of how previous 87oct maps feel. Their general behavior (smooth, "patient" for lack of a better word, composed) combined with the added power of a 91oct map, applied very very smoothly. I didn't observe what I've come to feel was characteristic of the 91 octane maps, in that you could tell the difference when driving. You could feel how it would jump, ready to go when you gave it throttle, even if it wasn't much at all. Not really the case now. If I didn't know better, I would say it was a 87 map. Very well done

    I also will continue to leave anything gas mileage related to other people lol I frequently keep my tire pressure around 28-30psi (with the tires warmed up) because of how often I go off road for fun or to recover local people who got stuck, and that kind of consistent tire pressure is not ideal for gas mileage concerns lol

    I'm just kinda confused why the previous version of PCMF isn't working for you. It's a program, it's code. It should perform as programmed, it simply does its job. Worked for me just this morning, first try. I haven't retrieved the new version yet

    1.04A:
    drove 50 miles or so into Dallas after letting her idle for a while. much smoother, no loss of power from previous versions. rolling into Dallas had a traffic jam, and nice and smooth/stable at idle up through 1.2krpm, no fighting with it. and no stutter at 2.5k...

    super good work so far. thanks Mat.
