I have covered about 1500 miles of my trip back to Maryland. The tune has increased my MPG by about 3.
Took me an hour and a half to get thru Chicago. I hit it about 7:30 PM. I figured rush hour should be over.It was as bad as the Long Island Expressway. Fortunately I had filled up just before reaching the slowdown.

DickW,

Did you stop in Wrigleyville for an "Old Fashioned" and a game?  No one is allowed to pass through without a Chicago Dog....

Ok Dick, you have had some time to get used to your new tuned Wester's special.  By now you have had time to reflect on what you have.  First, as Lyndon mentioned the possibility of your getting rid of the Cat, he could get a little more power.  Have you decided to follow through with that?  For more power, I know I would in a heartbeat.  As you are aware, the more you drive it under different modes the more it will learn and accommodate.  Your smile will only reach the proportions of the smile on Jack Nicholson's face in the movie "Batman"  I wish I could go to Joe's Meet just to drive your new energized Kappa.

Thanks Sly Bob, I modified my post.

For more performance, I know I would in a heartbeat.  What else puts a smile on your face.

What would he replace the Solo exhaust with?  I thought that the Solo was pretty good?

I believe Ron that Lyndon mentioned that if he got rid of the cat, he could get a little more power.

73!!!!!!!  :o

I am truly humbled...     :thumbs:

Joe told me he was building a special refrigerated shed to keep it all in and it was going to be guarded at all times by a fancy alarm system.  It is a two key system and he was going to mail one of them to another LSM.  Not sure who got the key, but I keep checking the mail in case it's me.  After all, I would be the logical choice. :)

Also, there is an alarm test that occurs on the hour ever hour just to make sure it works.  You'll see when you get here.

Dick,

3000 miles on your new tune, what is the verdict?  3 mpg better you said, what else?  How is the tranny tune?  Does it feel like it has always been that way? Like it's right?
