G'day,

Hey, AP Tuning,

Cheers again

is it possible to 'tune' a 4.8 Litre electronically so that better fuel consumption/optimum performance is delivered? I have heard that EFI and ECU cars don't benefit from a normal tune.

My rig...

I'll tray some other images - my former set up where all my trips were vehicle only. Currently I tow a trailer and the set up is way different.

However, I thought some may be interested. Took...

Hey Todd, that's really nice of you.
Thanks.

Thanks for the welcome, blokes.
