The drivability is awesome, feels smoother then before.
My butt dyno says that it's faster too, but the ultimate test will be when I race my friends' 03 stock s2k, then we'll see if it was worth it...
They did explain everything, plus I was not expecting any miracles in terms of gaining like 20 hp

With my EMS, after getting tuned I was running right below 13.0 almost the entire time. Maybe its harder to bring the E-Manage to a consistent AFR?
But, isn't the ideal A/F ratio for N/A around 12.5 - 13.3 or so? He's right around that range the entire time.
BTW- I recently switched back to my OEM ECU for a week so I could pass emissions (OBD II connection required), and the car feels considerably slower on the OEM ECU and it doesn't drive as smooth ... go figure
How do you like yours Oleg, does it feel a lot better?

As some of you know, PTuning dyno reads low.

Yeah......well, hopefully emanage will pay off when I go supercharged. But, as I said before, I will run it with my friends' stock s2k ant then we'll see if all those mods were usefull

the numbers are low, but if you pull up the thread from the dyno day at Ptuning, you'll see that everyone was getting low readings
I think my car only dyno'd 220 on their dyno. That's particularly low considering it was a 2.5L. It read about 30hp lower than it did on a DynoJet. I openly challenged anyone with a comparable dyno sheet to run me.
