New Tunes

Nice!

I installed the tunes today, 80HP LT, 80HP DD, 100HP Performance and of course I had to drive the latter of the 3 right away

I drove up and over some local hills on a 20 mile loop. I averaged ~4mpg better than the equivalent Edge tune! The shifting seemed smoother as well as the power throughout the 0 - 70mph range (lots of corners on that loop). It won't take long with the fuel prices to have that one tune pay for all three. I'm excited to try the 80HP Daily Driver tune to see what gains I get (mpg) there. I'm sitting at 19+ mpg right now if the initial numbers are true, using the 100HP performance tune.

Needless to say, I'm happy as can be

Thank you PHP! Cody! Bill! Corey!

Sincerely,

Kevin

That makes me happy to hear! for multiple reasons, mainly because I want that kind of mileage out of my truck, but also because you enjoyed the product

, what mpg's did you originally get?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you're looking at the overhead display, you are going to be disappointed when you figure out the mileage on paper.

Aftermarket tuning skews that reading pretty badly.

agreed.. if you keep your foot out of it you can get better mileage though..

I was using the Gryphon "EcoAvg" for comparison (the delta) to come up with ~4 mpg.

With the standard Edge Tow Safe (un-hitched) I was getting low 15's, with the Edge performance tune I was getting just under 16 (15.7 - 16.1) and the first indications with the 100hp performance I was getting 19.7. This is obviously a moving average of some kind since it is a little volatile but I thought that the delta's would be reasonably accurate. Not true Cody?

True dietoremain!

On the CTS, there's a "Mileage Coach" option to show instantaneous mpgs vs avg mpgs. I've got mine showing the difference between the two, so it was fun seeing the mileage coach go to -18 when I nailed it coming up one of the hills around here (google claims it to be a max 23% grade...little easier in the truck than on my bike..

).
