Ha! I'm just busting your chops! From your sig, we have identical cars from the factory (drivetrain-wise), and what I can tell you is that the tunes on a manual do make a huge difference. I was actually very surprised, and this is coming from a guy who is used to speed and power. Definitely worth the money.

 

Will the v6 chirp with a tune?

 

My '06 GT has a little throttle lag and sometimes needs to be coax'ed to shift (it's an AUTO), but my real lag gripe is when letting off the gas - this car has NO compression braking and will idle the car at 50 mph for some distance. Kinda stupid in terms of functionality to save some on the emissions side. I'd be more interested if a "tune" eliminates this.

 

Hmmmm...thats weird. I feel that my car has too much engine braking.

 

Can't you turn the comupters learning ability away with the tuner?

 

Noticed no one mentioned this- Who's driving around at 3600 rpms in First? Throttle lag usually comes in at cruising speeds in TOP gear! When the engine is usually closer to 2000 rpm you punch it at the computer gets confused and won't let the tranny shift (if auto) or won't kick in the fuel injectors, in manual.
I'd like ot see a comparison between the 2 trannys as I'd expect a ton more delay with the Auto.

 

Hi guys,
I've been eyeballing the CAI and tune from Brenspeed as well. I've got an 2006 auto V6. I'd probably run the 87 tune.

Someone mentioned that they actually had improved gas mileage from the tune. Has anyone else experience this? I kind of expected it would decrease my gas mileage a bit. Does it hurt or help? If so, by how much? What's been everyone's experience?

Thanks!

 

Same with my 'o6 - no lag, just action.
