Also can't wait for warmer weather to update to test out the 1.1 as well. @KTuner for the PRL map is it only for a catless downpipe or high flow cat work as well? Maybe put in the description if there is a difference.

Sidenote I have RV6 myself but assume they are pretty much the same for downnpipe and frontpipe
High flow cat is fine with both of these manufacturers.

I loaded up the PRL map. I’m currently running PRL DP, FP, intercooler, charge pipes and Mishimoto intake. The mid range is pretty good. Very noticeable. Seems to drop off above 5.5k, I attribute that to the stronger mid range. While cruising at 80 on the freeway it can get you into trouble. One blip of the gas pedal and your doing 100! I’ll try the 1.1 tune soon and provide some feedback.

Wish I had a Laguna Seca track day coming up so I could compare to previous times.

After installing the PRL turbo inlet I was having issues with the throttle modulating from 4K rpms up on the regular stage 1 maps. This was causing wot pulls to feel wavy and the throttle would open and close on its own. The new PRL map fixed all of this and works very well with the PRL turbo inlet.

Before work every morning i do a nice little pull since the way i go allows for it. It's not a drastic change but you can definitely feel it in the mid range. Town driving just got way more fun :oops:

Glad you guys are enjoying so far!
With more power comes more traction issues, especially for those of us that track. I have some issues at Laguna, definitely found a lot more traction issues at Buttonwillow last weekend. I’m willing to test/provide datalogs if needed.

The PRL Bolt On map is too much for city driving, I need some street slicks for how it shreds tire. Torque comes on really strong in third though and sport feels pretty comfortable to daily.

Ran into a small hiccup today, wasn't really thinking much while driving. Was driving around 35mph or so in 4th gear, decided to do a small pull without downshifting. I gave the car close to full throttle and as the revs started to climb it felt like it hit a wall, heard the exhaust pop didn't feel any power so I let off. Couldn't reproduce it again and the car seemed to pull normal when I tried it again in 2nd, 3rd and even 4th. Not sure if I should be concerned... :hmm:

I had that happen in 5th gear a couple of times. My cars been fine, I would just try to avoid doing it again.

Well that is a little relieving, I was thinking it might have cut throttle due to fuel because I was just under 1/4 tank and I've heard these cars are a little touchy about being low on fuel.

Yeah I rarely almost never try to do a pull in 4th from that low rpm, especially now that it is getting warmer. Gonna keep an eye on it and hope it don't happen again.

In the bottom table, right next to the little red square {to the right of it), there is a box with a arrow pointing to the right, click that and you'll see all the tuning tables.
