Your driving may account for the bad time but not the MPH. Most guys running over 12.5 will have stock auto's with standard stall. They are giving you the run around.Geea.

I have since fitted and intercooler and hi-flow CAT and waiting for a time to get it on the dyno as he is booked out, so till then I’m driving it easy. My best time on Gtech was 13.3 with my 250/266RWKW. I'm not sure if Intune has improved in a year but im not going back.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Its proabably the IC and CAT you have fitted since your first tune that is making your car lean out, so maybe not the tuners fault to begin with.Dazza.
