From what I have read, both alive tuning and bas seem to getting very similar results.

Is one better than the other? I don't know.

I would assume that the difference in tune would more than likely be non existent or extremely small.

Canot anyone confirm if there is a difference?

They're both excellent products by all accounts. Everything you read on this site about them is positive!

The advantage of the BAS2 tool is that its a full diagnostic and service tool for the engine that also writes remaps to your ecu, displays your choice of live data (graphic or numerical), logs that data, programs and learns new injectors/vcv's. Its also not restricted to one vehicle, you can use the tool on all your compatible Landys.

Well, I've read all about this on Def 2, & it sounds REALLY positive with some outstanding results.
And it's getting "closer" to Melbourne with guys in NSW getting involved, but I am computer/electronics USELESS, so until there is someone in Melbourne who can supply support to me in the event of a "stuff up", I'm afraid I'll be watching only.

Could be a good opportunity to learn Pickles!
Pete is putting together some very good step-by-step instructions on how to use the tool, including how to install your new unlocked ECU. (You have a 2.2?)

Remember that for the 2.2 puma, Pete sends you a brand new ecu (Free!) to install so that your original ecu isnt altered at all.
If the ***** hits the fan and you cant fix it (unlikely) just remove the new ecu and plug your original one back in to get you going.

Beery, thanks.
Yes, I'm aware of that, so like I said, I'll be watching closely.
The one person I did speak to in Melbourne was a rep from Ritters, who didn't show a lot of interest in doing anything to the Puma 2.2, but He did mention that unlike Europe, the Aussie heat could be an issue, so will you be fitting a better intercooler at the same time?

Yeah I've also ordered an allisport intercooler. I'm also considering installing a "warm climate" thermostat at some point.

The Aussie heat would only become a problem with a careless driver behind the wheel.
The extra power/torque from a remap is mostly going to be used during acceleration, an event that usually lasts only a for a matter of seconds. Once you are at cruising speed, you're only 'using' the same level of power as you would one a standard map (same vehicle, load, conditions etc) with short lasting adjustments to maintain speed.

Long hills just require a bit of common sense, as does carrying/towing heavy loads - drive to the conditions

Tops, you'll be doing "before & after" BHP & torque figures on the rollers?...It'd be good to know them.

To be honest, I hadn't really thought of getting dyno figures. If i was into that I wouldn't be driving a Defender! I'm more interested in how it feels to drive and looking after the engine (i.e. EGR off, bigger intercooler).

Pete has done extensive dyno testing, so I'm pretty happy to take his word for the numbers.
