Detuning a VK56

Detuning a VK56
I'm considering detuning my QX.
* Pull a few deg. timing for regular gas like Armada.
* modify the throttle tables so the TB opens slower/later for lead footed drivers (e.g. wifey lol)
* tweak the load table so the shift points come down under low loads.
Anyone done this before? Caveats? Advise?

^^ I know she will notice haha. I'd at least put a stock map on there so she could switch it up if she wanted to. She got 14mpg average on her minivan (18mpg rated) now she's getting 9mpg on the QX lol. I'm def. working with her on driving habit, in the meantime was hoping I could tune around it LMAO.

It seems that they're always constantly accelerating (not holding speed) or braking.
There doesn't seem to be any coast time and the lifting on the pedal that's needed to maintain speed once achieved, is too little or too much - which leads to accelerating again

Whilst horribly sexist, there is some truth in this

LOL u guys are brutal. After I gave her some advise and she actually followed it she's now up to 12mpg. I think 13mpg once... but I think I can still tune a few mpg's into this by slowing the throttle response and load tables so it upshifts and locks up sooner. Right now the throttle is very sensitive and it downshifts very easily..
