You'll need an edit to get rid of the torque management, since having more power won't mean dick if the computer cuts it all out when you floor it to sae the driveline.

Everything I have previously touched is pre-pollution era... Let alone computers etcThanks in advance...Whats an edit worth ???<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Ford Australia and GMH both encode there engine management systems with abuse protection modes. When the cars are advertised for sale making a certain amount of power and torque, they will not always produce it all of the time.When you drive your XR8 or Turbo around and it goes hard some days and others it feels flat, and sometimes one set of lights after another you can feel it. that's the torque management taking affect.Its there to protect the drive train and to protect the wear and tear of the engine and also to invoke the driver to back off. But we don't buy our XRs to drive slowly or softly do we? We modify them to go harder and faster!So you see, then you let the BOSS breath better and give it the ability to make more ponies, the torque management is still going to be there and is still going to cut the fun out of your driving.The edit simply turns all those parametres off, and while the tuner has your car on the dyno, alters the air fuel ratio and spark timing and removes the ultra rich factory tune it came with and unlocks a healthy torque and power gain. And with the abuse modes removed, it will perform consistently day in and day out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
