CANbus Stage 1 map is a beast (preliminary review)

Kelvin1000 · 04-03-2009, 07:18 AM

Couldn't wait and gave it a try...

The massive torque makes this thing really impressive and much more fun to drive around town and the tiny blip at 4K is all but gone. THIS MAP IS A BIG IMPROVEMENT OVER ANYTHING I HAVE EVER TRIED!!!

This is the map that we have all been waiting for. I believe that without the limitations of trying to achieve diagnostic invisibility, Shiv has created the #1 reason to upgrade to REV 2. The code clearing and extras are the icing on the cake. This map has the best of both worlds.

I typically try to be very objective and as most people know, I have tried a lot of different tunes. I am no "fanboy" and have no devotion to any one vendor but I must say that a big CONGRATULATIONS is in order at this time.

Self proclaimed torque whore #1 is now finally satisfied.

My typical long winded review (with Dynos) will be forthcoming.

See you Sunday Shiv

Congratulations!

Trying to set up a Dyno run for Sunday afternoon (after the install) if anyone is interested in joining me.

Looking forward to seeing some of you there Sunday morning!

from my understanding theres no issues. its just a bit more aggressive above 5k rpm (i believe) than stage 0

but if anything get urself a dual cone intake and ur at stage 1!

oh yea... in for dynos

No issues for me so far and I have been beating on it like a drum all day...

87 degrees today...just brutal for April.

I'm all too familiar with that Miami weather, having lived there for 15 years.

87 degrees and full humidity to boot. I can't wait for this upgrade myself! Good to hear another satisfied customer!
