    DP chip and Taipan exhaust getting fitted now, just waiting to pick it up.
    Can't wait.
    And I will be getting gauges fitted but that will be the next mod before lift kit

    Yes sorry folks phone had no battery left and only just got home.
    Surprisingly at the first drive I was not overwhelmed by extreme power. But throughout the night I started to realize how different the car actually was. Real easy exceleration at any rev range, seemed much smoother.
    I can definitely feel the power increase now.
    Fabulous note from the exhaust, I was worried that it would too droney inside the cab but is almost the same as it was, very impressed.
    I now want to see the economy improvements.

    You probably won't see much improvement in economy - simply because you will drive it like the go cart it has become rather than the battleship it was before !!!

    P.S. I love all the details in some of the signatures. Anyone looking to knock off a car has a ready made shopping list. Some times it doesn't pay to advertise.

    Changed the chip setting from 7 to 3 to see difference in fuel economy but really hasn't changed that much (I suppose I did get a few k's more with 1 less litre of fuel used) but I have noticed the reduction in power that's for sure.

    Am curious, what was your fuel economy like before and what about now. Mine seems to have improved but to early to tell. By the way have you settled on your suspension upgrade yet??

    I will let you know on economy tomorrow. As for suspension I guess narrowed down to OME or KONI but really , still not sure.
