The torque relative to power increase seems quiet good. I wonder what sort of egts you'd get with their tune. Did they mention expected egts?Quote:

Yet? If so how did it go at 110kmph?
Sorry for all the questions but I love info and want to compare it to my Alive tune (which I absolutely love).
All good, I've been wanting to take it for a blat. New exhaust is good, slightly throatier but not noisy which is good.
Egts are about the same ( i have a temp gauge mounted in the pocket on left of wheel)
Didnt ask how much more kw's
Very happy with what I have though.
Took it down to Burleigh Heads tonite, pulled like a freight train, pick up is great went from 40kph to 110 in 5th with no labouring then cruised in 6th.
Responsiveness is very impressive and the snatchiness in 2nd is all but gone.
Cheers Ian
Found the time & dropped into Maptec this afternoon.
ECU was removed data transferred, mapping to be done.
Monday afternoon the new mapping will be installed & I can give it a good test up Mt Tambourine, then Friday the truck goes on the dyno for an information update.
im excited
Cheers

The 120-150bhp increase seems similar from memory to the BAS 122-150 bhp without the intercooler to go to 170bhp. Is that right?Quote:

Never looked back after that!
Can I ask about the airbox mods?
Sure .... this from Pete Bell.Quote:

Its a dust seperator/ejector. It's actually a pretty good design despite it being widely rubbished and removed.Quote:

Of course, you could replace it with a precleaner on a snorkel.
I finally finished off the pantry drawer/fridge platform I started the other week. Now painted and carpeted.

I've still gotta put some tie down points on. But first gotta decide on what fridge to buy. Ice box has been fine for years but we're now planning longer trips.
With the left over plywood and a couple of hinges I made a folding table top for the Frontrunner Wolf Pack boxes. We usually travel with 2-4 of these.
They stack great but the top surface is annoying.
With this little table top we've got a super stable 4 position bench. Folds in half so it fits in the wolf pack. The "legs" match the pattern of wolf pack top and stop it moving in any direction. Super simple but super useful.
