eh its hard to type it out

its about the power curve and if its higher at 7k than at 4k then you would stay in the gear longer

you know you can get the ap with protune right? protune allows you to get a custom tune similar to utec.

plus you could get custom tuned maps and store them in the accessport.

I have ecutek and now am looking at accessport.

Now, let me ask you guzies. Can you swap out ecu's on the 05 or are the vin numbers in the ECU.
