You probably aught to do some romping on it with the aggressive version and see how it performs 1st off and get it out of your system. Then refill before resuming your mileage calculation data so that you aren't temted to mix in more aggressive driving with your normal commute and mileage data.

I don't know. The stock rev limit is probably good for a stock car. Stock engines don't really have a lot of go up top.

Re: New for Christmas 08 Stage1Av1

By the way , i was looking at the power curves , and it seems that reving over 6000 rpm , the drop of power is enormous so , reving too high should slow down the 1/4 mile ? no ?

Re: New for Christmas 08 Stage1Av1

yes, I believe there are calculators you can use online that if you enter the info from your dyno plot and your gear information it will calculate the shift point for the best 1/4 mile time. The determining factor is the effect of being in the higher rpms in the last gear vs being in the lower rpms in the next gear and whether you can avoid a gear shift alltogether in the 1/4. Unless I am remembering incorrectly the g-tech pro also has that ability. I don't know the answer offhand. I don't have any stock cars so I haven't thought about it.

Re: New for Christmas 08 Stage1Av1

ok , after talking with a buddy , we've aggred on 7400 Rpm witch is the limit on the 1v5 chip thats installed in my car . Since i have a complete Stebro exhaust ( the 3000$ one ) , I wonder what the sound will be like in those rpm range ...

So 7400Rpm it is .

Re: New for Christmas 08 Stage1Av1

Another question for the chip v1A :

Will it be easier to run on 94 octane or it doesnt make any difference on 91 ?
( due to the Agressive timing ? )

Re: New for Christmas 08 Stage1Av1

Why don't you see if you can find a dyno plot for a car with a manual transmission and either the stage 1 or 2 software so that it shows some upper rpms. I think there is one somewhere. Maybe someone will see and share it. I guestimated the power at higher rpms to figure this but it looks to me like maybe 7200 for the 1 to 2 shift and 6800 for the 2 to 3 shift would be best for a car with a stock engine.

Re: New for Christmas 08 Stage1Av1

Installing now should be done with in the hour ..
Edit:

Okay so it took me about 3 more hours then expected!]
First impressions, pretty nice. MPG will take a bit to get in but seems to honestly run a little smoother.

Ya I think those numbers will give the best times for a stock engine (so long as it doesn't blow a rod bearings).
