The Results are in !!!

The results are in for the ECU Upgrade.

These are the result of the Horsepower and Torque at the wheel:


Stock 64.97 HP Torque 59.60

Remap 73.05 HP Torque 63.11

Remap+Hyperpipe 76.69 HP Torque 66.61
+K&N drop in

We ran each setup at least 4-5 times and the results were very consistent. Remember these are values at the wheel and that this does not take into consideration any wind resistance. The shifting was smoother and we were able to run it at 122 MPH at the Dyno shop

STOCK



REMAP ONLY



REMAP + HYPER PIPE INTAKE + K&N FILTER

If the STOCK graph is 4th gear, then we're really talking 64/66/68 HP discounting the clutch slip/roller inertia peaks on the bottom two graphs.
The good part is the low end where the gear engages after a shift - 51/56/56
Mid-range looks like - 60/64/65
If the STOCK graph is 5th, you went backwards.
RPM would have been a nice addition to the test graphs.

The ECU remap has shown to be the most bang for your buck. We have spent quite a bit of time to get these results. Many people may interpret the graphs differently than others but the result either way is a big improvement.

Also, our customer Jeremy, who let us use his car for these results noticed the power difference immediately. He had a lot of time to really test it out since his trip home was pretty far.

Our customers have reported gas mileages over 55 Miles to the Gallon!

I'd like to hear from these customers about their MPG stories- number of fillups, type of driving conditions and style of driving.

Are there any customers that are also members here that can post their real-world experience?
