Hvae you been tuned for the gears. And bear in mind that with the lower gears and NOS the RPM between shift command and actual shift are rising much faster now so you may need to allow more room between command and desired shift

I bought myself efilive a few months back... Slowly, but surely, I am learning.

Turning off codes, tweaking up the rev limiter, etc is pretty simple. Getting into the VE tables is where it starts to get complicated. Plus, you can do some live data logging and see what your car is doing, instead of guessing.

Well, for most of us the first time we got on a PC was easy.

Step 1. Yahoo.com
Step 2. Search ****
Step 3......

Tuning seems a bit more complicated..but once I get some more extensive mods I'll invest in the appropriate programs.
