That's the main point right there - figures aside the dyno session was invaluable for comparing the different settings and the gains made.

I also agree with your observation on the loosening up...I should ask you for your thoughts on BP ultimate diesel

Been out for a drive in D7 and its spinning the wheels in the first 2 gears, seems a lot more lively lower down, might be in my head when compared to the D8 but I have not driven it for 10 days so may have forgotten how it was.

Either way will leave on D7

Smee is bullying me to try D9. Will relent and try it tomorrow......

And with a combination of Torque Pro OBD on my tablet, DashCommand on my Android phone and my perf steering wheel, I should have all bases covered to log all the relevant data.

I had less kit strapped to the Wildcat when testing it!

Let us know how you fare with D9. Having set it to '9' with both maps C and E it didn't really seem to offer anything more for my car, and in fact the results showed a more negative effect.

I guess this is the point of testing and trial & error though, and setting 9 is perhaps just too aggressive on my particular engine.

With the torque I was seeing being produced in this setting, I'm not surprised you're lighting up the rears!

So are you around today Tuesday as I am trying to avoid painting and could catch up to see the car?

[JLR1969]

Filled the car to the brim and did a round trip on the motorway of 120 miles at a constant 70 MPH then refilled at the same petrol station.

The OBD said 53MPG but calculating it properly gave 48MPG so I would say that the tuning box throws out the computer by around 10%

Over a full tank I averaged 38MPG which was a lot of quick driving and not a lot of motorways

[Smee]

ties in with what I see

[JLR1969]

That's fancy. So you see a 10% difference as well

[DexGC]

I was hoping mine would make more after it 'loosened up' but it made almost identical figures at 17k miles as it did at 1400 miles.

Honestly? It's probably ok, I think it's solid blue under load from distant memory, but I'd take it off and invest in a remap that isn't stressing your fuel system. With those able to be done via OBD now, easy to flash on and off, there's no advantage to the crude tuning boxes these days. That's coming from someone who's dabbled with a couple of different boxes now and ultimately went for a 'proper' tune.
