Awesome review, skinrock! I got the exact same feeling with my car. I had no idea it could do what it is doing right now. It's just crazy the way it forces me back into my seat. As a passenger, I just am not prepared for it, and, when looking ahead, I have to refocus my eyes so quickly.

I have not run on 91 octane yet, since the tune. However, I will probably be doing that, eventually. Shiv told me that, because the FlexFuel kit includes a DME flash, the stock 91 octane tune will feel much better.

I totally agree with the throttle maps. I was iffy about them at first, because, yes, it does feel slightly different under normal driving. There's a definite urgency there. I've been thinking about it, and I'd say that, at least before the turbos *really* start kicking in, Shiv's maps feel far more N/A than a stock tune. It's like I can just demand torque with ease, as if the car had a massive N/A V8 engine.


Also, are you still on the stock clutch with these numbers?
