Thanks for the graphs, Trieu, although I've only got Phat's Muffs I'm thinking of getting a tune by Paul soon. The turbo lag is pissing me off. :wink:

When I give an opinion you have to ask yourself...what the hell does he know about anything!

LOL!! To be honest I haven't launched it as yet.... I'm secretly waiting to line up with the real beast :) Phil be his name :) Serious power....

Nah... The difference is awesome to say the least, planting it from 2nd gear rolling, the car lunges forward, snapping your head back, if you have a passenger, you will see they literally get pushed back into the seat. As the driver you hold onto the steering wheel :)

Puts a smile on my face every time I plant it.

I've been trying to test my fuel economy also, I can say it has pretty much returned back to the standard numbers, however now with mods so I am pretty happy with that. But then again, what is the price of fuel when you are having so much fun!

Initially, the Sports # tune was sooo responsive, abit too touchy for me, so I asked Paul to tune it back just a tad. Sports is now the previous stock stand Sports #.

When I am driving in Sports mode rolling in 2nd gear or 3rd gear just gradually increasing speed (normally... not planting it) and you switch to Sports # there is a very noticeable difference in the engine tone, the car just wants to go faster.

I like have three cars in one, I drive for...... well I don't use. Sports for the wife and Sports # for me.

I've had my previous GT tuned by Paul and I'm not trying to sell his product, but I'm very happy with each of my tunes.

The results are not only about the numbers printed.... however it's nice to have :) It is the end result I am after. The drivability, increased torque, improved fuel efficiency and over responsiveness of the throttle and most importantly a safe tune.

Two things I would have done differently is:
1. Ask for RPM instead of speed (as what Coyote has mentioned to me outside of the forum)
2. Got it tuned before I started any performance parts on it. But just abit too eager :) :)

Anyways, once the next stage of performance parts arrive... Will be heading back for a retune.
