Pressure makes diamonds. And wine. As I remind myself sometimes on major projects.

If I was the mod on this thread I think I would have been consuming the latter in major quantities. (Maybe that's why you were AWOL for the last couple pages.....)

If you aren't using any of the increased power, you wouldn't burn more fuel, but then what would be the point of having the tune?
was there any result from tank to tank fuel consumption?

You are responding to a two year old thread, and most of the posters on this particular thread came over from other boards to have a debate about one particular tuner. They left en mass after the drama died down.

It is a valid question as to whether actual (real world, not OBC) fuel consumption changed after any particular tune, but it would be better to start a thread with that question, IMO.

JCL...i understand...

I'm justing dying here reading all 10+ thread to find out an answer if this thing has timing advancement...

from little i know, from the Eprom tuning, back in the early 90s, they do claim a fuel efficiency. I will go ahead and start another thread in regards to your suggestions. thanks!

Howiedds,

I get it about the right foot, and right wrist (i own many motorcycles as well) theory, but, in nature, does this mod gives a better fuel efficiency?
