UTEC in....
Well after sitting in my counter next to my laptop for weeks, I finally installed my UTEC. I was waiting to see if someone could publish their Maps here. My wife is so happy I got all the crap out of there. The install was pretty straight forward, but it took some muscle to squeeze it in. Now, I didn't take it to a shop or have the car tuned. A shop in Phoenix wanted $360 to tune and Dyno it. I didn't feel like parting with that quite yet. I'm running the Base Map. I also raised the Rev Limiter to 7200.
I have to tell ya, I'm happy with the results. The **** dyno can feel the difference and the extra RMPs are great. It pulls stronger through all the gears. Once I learn more about the map numbers I'll tinker with it. Take care........db

You know I didn't dyno it..and that's too bad. I know it would be better, but I'm the kinda guy that just would be happier with what I could feel. I know it's running better than before and I'm happy with that. Just the increasing of the Rev limiter is great. It will be really worth it when I turbo charge it later this year. I know it better than a reflash because the owner in in control. That in itself is worth the extra money over a reflash......db

Awesome to know the stock maps make a difference.
Keep an eye out around Sep/Oct for my UTEC thread. When I return from this sandbox I will be installing and tuning with the UTEC. Already have my baseline numbers & mod numbers. Next up are UTEC numbers.

Just a reminder to everyone, the base maps are very conservative maps. They don't bring out the FULL potential the UTEC has to offer. Just wait until you get a custom tune. It blow your socks off!

P.S. $360 for a dyno tune is pretty good but I would be careful on who tunes it. Make sure the shop has experience with the VQ plateform. You know how touchy our engines are...
