    Just drove to Norwalk Drag today from Youngstown 3.35 pulley DIC showed 29.5 mph that's driving at 78mph. Tune makes a difference.

    Logged today, results are better, still seeing some KR. LTFTs are closer, max of -10 now. Going to tune the maf some as well as pull some timing where my KR is showing and see where that brings me.

    Well, after some more adjustments including a decent increase in cruise timing, my mileage increased from roughly 28 mpg to 32 mpg highway, confirmed by both DIC and topping off the tank before and after my trip to the cities. Only occasional blips of KR showing up during normal driving, which I'll adjust to get rid of. So you guys were right, I could learn to tune.

    I think it was more tune up stuff and a clogged coolant system that was doing. It was the base shelf tune as far as I know. I have since sold that pcm but have another one that's an 06 pcm that I haven't tried yet.
