      I put the 500/1850 tune in but went back to the 475/1750 because I didn't have the injector for the 500 and bigger tune.. thats gonna happen eventually but this one works very well

    • @darrencatenacci2737
      @darrencatenacci2737 Месяц назад +1

      That stinks wrong injectors! Seems like a lot of work for that small a gain. Unless you can go up higher than 500 with the injectors. I’ve done almost the same change and as far as it seemed I really didn’t gain economy performance was only slightly better. But too remember I’m running 2500-3000 miles a week so I might be looking differently. But if it was mine biggest worry would be clutch rating.
