Does this also apply to ECU remaps?

Only the bad ones... ;)

A good tune will provide excellent economy and performance even in urban cycle.

As far as I'm aware, unlike a plug-in box, no ECU map applies across all Terrain Response settings - only the 'normal' setting. However, in this setting the fuel economy is generally better than with the plug-in boxes, at least for urban motoring.

;) I never thought of that ascpect with respect to Terain Response. Thanks.

has anyone remapped their V8????

Don't think that a remap will do much for the V8. You need a better exhaust and a supercharger. :angel:
