After installing the FVD software in my vehicle, I could discern a marked improvement in throttle response. That is to say, that the throttle response felt noticeably more linear and consistent throughout the "powerband". Unfortunately, some enthusiasts expect that re-mapping the ecu suddenly makes their vehicle feel like 100 hp has just been added. That is simply not the case. Like many performance upgrades, the actual increase in performance can sometimes be subtle or incremental. I would recommend driving your vehicle some more, particularly under various driving conditions, and see how it performs.

Well, some members can rely on their "butt" dyno to give them a good indication of power. I for one, have incredibly sensitive "cheeks" that, believe it or not, can readily detect power increases in one horsepower increments.

It's a good job you included the to your last post JD, otherwise people would get the wrong "impression" of your cheek sensitivity.....
