finally tuned!!

after working on it about 2 hours because apparently i did not have it cleaned good enough. I got it on. I got the 60e, 60t and 100 perf and absolutley love it. It has worked wonders on my lieometer. Its shooting up like a rocket lol. I got it on just in time to go on a golf weekend in Myrtle Beach with the fellas. One good thing about an Ex is I taking 6 more people including 7 sets of clubs. If I can keep my foot out of it I will let yall know what the mileage was when i get back!

Let your friends marvel at the 25mpg on the lieometer but don't let them look over your shoulder when you do the hand calc. That permagrin is well worth the price of fuel.

I wouldn't worry about checking the MPG for a while. . Good luck on keeping your foot out of it.

Jody can usually fix that. He tunes the pressure down or something and it will shift like stock. That happen with my john woods trans, after fine tuning it is great. Good luck

Yeah I will probably be sending it back for some fine tuning. When I lift off the gas to roll to a stop, when it gears down, it feels like gearing down a stick shift
