    So, um.. dyno charts incoming soon :fingerscrossed:

    Still very interested in what Mat has to say about DFCO and rev hang (oops, that last one is for emissions so it's sure to draw fire).

    :wave:

    I can say at this point it is basically unchanged during normal driving. Was getting around 17-18 in a mix of city/highway before, and that's stayed about the same. I went on a longer drive mostly highway, and it seemed to maybe get about 1/2 mpg better doing around ~60 most of the way. A test I haven't had a chance to do yet but would like to, is see how it does in the 75- range, as before it would drop milage above 70. Haven't done that yet.

    That said who knows what the new changes will do!

    Will have dyno results and more info posted today.

    FYI almost all harmful emissions from any car these days are during initial cold start.

    It is really obvious to me this tune is not for you.

    There is an awful lot of excitement around a product you can only pay for but not have right now.

    Is the cable/equipment to flash this available elsewhere? If so - is there a price just for the tune files themselves? Is a "return to stock" tune included (or a copy of mine made at burn time) so when I take my vehicle in for something I don't get the "It's your fault the piston has a hole in it"? Is there a flag in the ECU that lets them know I borked with it anyway?

    Mine is on 285's and then math has me getting between 18-19.5. 1.02c and I drive about 60 miles a day for work.
    I live in the county so a blend of highway plus back roads.....

    Deceleration Fuel Cut OFF if that's what you were asking. It messes with engine braking (to put it mildly), which is a pain when towing and off road.
    The fuel seems to come back on around 1400RPM, which basically feels like your brakes took a shit...

    Without reading the 1000 pages in the other thread - what is the ETA for equipment to be in stock? If I'm buying stuff I like it to be delivered faster than regret takes to set in. That puts me firmly in the "I'll wait until it ships the next day" camp. I'm actually kinda pleased it's out of stock because I need new skis and buying both in the same month might appear on wifey's radar :)

    Thanks! Yep. I couldn't decipher that.

    I saw that my injectors were off above that but probably busy shifting and paying attention to traffic to notice them come back on at that RPM. Talk about a wasteful emissions. . .

    Like the announcement of the next season of Game of Thrones. By the time it's out I'll have forgotten it exists.

    the DFCO is very apparent with a load on the truck. Frank is right. you let off the gas and engine braking does its thing... until it doesn't! it just cuts out and that's a potential scary moment depending on the load and what's going on around you.
