    Well after putting about a 1k miles on the car, and really allowing nature to take its course the Techco staff asked me to bring it in. From the durability test of the R&D car they adjusted my tune with some updates and some of my request. I thought I had a problem before of not hooking the tires, now I really have a problem.

    Some of the adjustment that were made was more responsive throttle. Better driving abilities, and oh boy the 1/4, & 1/2 throttle acceleration is incredible. After getting the adjustments I drove out to flames in bumper to bumper traffic of course on a Friday night the 405 was a parking lot.

    Well I gave a test ride to Paul, who also took video...His reply was "It feels like we are riding on ice" in other words the HP/TQ coming from the Techco twinscrew is making incredible power and not allowing the tires to grip at all. I also allowed Paul to take the SilvaSurfer for a spin, Who could not believe the feel and power. But once it grabs we never got pass 2 gear.

    I am now even more confident the Techco and their staff not only knows what they are doing but cares about their customers. John, Rust and I did about 2 hours of data loggin and several adjustments before they felt I was taken care of. There ability to diagnose the problem is very intense. So if you are looking for a set-up and would like a company who cares Techco is the place.

    Much props to Carlos, John, Billy, Jimmie, Rust, Bill, and the entire Techco Staff .

    More info and data to be released!!!!

    New Update on MPG!!!!

    I filled up this morning before I left for work.. Some of you know I work in Santa Ana, Ca. A round trip is about 75+ miles. Then I ran a couple of errands and with to see my boy 36. Something told me to check my trip A and low and behold I did 135 miles on a 1/4 of a tank of gas.

    Went back to the gas station just to top it off for the rest of the week. It only took 5 gallons to fill it back up.. So that mean I averaged 27 MPG with and average of 75 to 80 mph...

    DAMN that is better then my MPG stock....

    Hi Jay, Do you think there is any chance of getting our money back now for the gas guzzler tax they charged?

    Haha, still sore about the gas guzzler tax? Everybody realizes sooner or later they should have bought a Magnum :rofl:


    It does seem like magic though (and the last thing you expect). Get a blower and your mpg goes up for normal driving. Especially highway driving.

    The MPG increase may be the edge some folks need to convince there wife’s about getting screwed.
