I just wanted to get a new the lead topic to appear at the top of the MTH forum.

 

Surprised you didn't do that sooner

Thanks for the help today, everything worked a-ok!

I'm waiting oh-so-patiently for Dan to return to work at Grassroots Garage next week so he can load my tuner file that he's had for a couple of weeks...

Actually, the wait is about to KILL me.... :impatient
But that's nobody's fault but mine. Dan and Don turned it around quickly.

It's gonna rock - and with this, my tuning plan is DONE...

(yeah, right, I still have credit on a few credit cards...)

 

Still sending folks your way Don, did you get an e-mail from the guy in Mexico?

 

Yes, I did. Thank you

 

Good, I think that you provide excellent support. I am glad to hear that things are still going well.

 

hey, glad to hear business is good. now then, can you help me with my problem? here's a link...

 

What kind of performance gains would I get on my car, and what would the effect be on MPGs? Thanks!

 

Performance gains seem to vary. Don sets it at about 15+ (http://www.dmhmotorsports.net/MiniTu...l#ECU%20Tuning) and you get a smoother running car.

MPG's do drop a little, but I have noticed that it is not all that much if you drive the car normally and not push it. However, if you step on the gas, it will drink it.

 

Got my MTH Tuner file loaded yesterday at Grassroots Garage. WOW.

I'm glad I drove the car for a month with the pulley but without the MTH so I'd appreciate it. After the pulley install, I definitely had a lot more power than before- but the car felt IN NO WAY "refined" - just like a bunch of raw horses/torque had been "bolted on" and was at my disposal - but definitely didn't have a smooth feeling like the whole car was engineered and tuned as a unit. The MTH tune makes the car feel like A CAR if that makes any sense - not like a bunch of performance parts bolted together. It may have a bit more power and torque at points in the curve than before, but the BEST result is that the delivery of power feels TOTALLY smooth as you rev through the gears. Like you're driving a really nice, uh, BMW or something...

Still has wonderful intake howl/whine, exhaust thoatiness and burble, all the good stuff. Just wonderfully smooth on top of all that... Really is like a different car yet again. Three mods really gave me that "different car" feel (each in different ways): The USS, the pulley, and the MTH tune.

I'm a happy camper.
