Default JLT + Brenspeed = Awesome

So I installed my JLT CAI and Brenspeed 89 Tune this morning and took her out for a test drive...

I'm very impressed, it pulls way harder up over 3500 rpm or so! Down below 3500 rpm it feels pretty much the same. The throttle response is much improved and it is noticeably louder under full acceleration with my Corsa's!

I had my buddy drive it stock this morning and then after the install he drove it again and had the same opinions, it just really wakes the car up!

I'm going to run the 89 tune for a while then in a few weeks I'll give the 93 tune a whirl and see if I can notice much difference between the two.

All in all, I'm very happy with the price, the customer service (lots of emails between me and Seth) and the performance.

Makes you wonder why you waited so long, doesn't it? Congrats!

Congrats!! I'm going to do the opposite. I've been running the 93 tune since I installed the CAI, but with this crappy winter weather we've been having here, I'm going to install the 87 or 89 tune this weekend and see how they perform for a while...

I actually got kind of lucky, because I couldn't remember what octane gas I'd put in the tank. I normally run 89 but sometimes put in 93, about once every 2 months. I wasn't sure if I'd filled up with 93 or not.

I dug around all over the house and found the receipt... I'd filled up with 89!

I was afraid that if I didn't find the receipt I'd have had to wait until I ran the tank dry.

I'll have to give that a whirl tomorrow.

Tomorrow my dad is going to bring up his stock 07 GT and we're going to do some 2nd gear rolls. He has 3.55s and I have 3.31s and weigh about 30lbs less than him. So the last time we did 2nd gear roll we were almost identical... he pulled maybe 1/4 car up to 100mph.

I'm hoping the addition of the JLT will see me pulling a fair bit on him now.

I was pretty surprised with how much louder the exhaust was... I wasn't really expecting that, but the Corsa's really scream now!
