I think it smoothed out. At least, I have been driving with it for almost 18 months now and it seems smooth and responsive, but not jumpy. I don't even remember posting that, lol.

FYI my wife also drives my car, and she never knew any difference. IMO, its perfect combined with a 6 speed - I can literally drop down to idle in 1st or 2nd gear in traffic, so i hardly need to use the clutch or brakes in stop & go. The MAF tune can't do that because the air velocity is too low for the sensor to work properly - it bucks and jerks below ~1200rpm.

Interesting.

Have you observed any other benefits/trade-offs from the MAFless tune?
Also, have you found a way to tweak the responsiveness of the throttle? It'd be great if the delay could be reduced.
