No real details. I have not had time to take the car to the strip and beat it up. I have been driving around doing day to day stuff and I noticed the fuel milage increase. In all around city and highway driving, 3 mpg seems to be the gain. No stinky rich smell anymore, so it makes sense. Very pleased

ah, we're talking about mileage here. Your title says mph I thought you picked up like an extra 30 hp from tuning.

So it does. Too many beers for lunch today . I did correct it. 3 mpg is also impressive.

That's a frequent weekend lunch for me too. MPG gains are great in this day and age and indicate that everything should be on par too!
