, its like looking at stereo instructions to me. The smooth line is why we stuck with the 2nd gear run. The 3rd gear run was not as smooth.Import Tuner RS-5 dyno testing

Ok, here it is. I was VERY surprised at how professional the packing was (reminded me of how a nice new flatscreen comes), and the build quality appears to be top notch. Lets hope it costs as much as it does because it performs as well as it looks.
Pointers:
They do not give you enough velcro, so buy more. Also have zip ties and electrical tape on hand. I am running map B, which is more aggressive and the switch is set to ON (I).
After thinking, Im gonna do 2-3 runs with the switch on, and with the switch off, just to see.

Ive done some playing on the hwy the last two days. When cruising at 70, then pushing down the petal to get a downshift, the car seems to zip to 100 pretty quick. In the 3k rpm and higher range, the car feels quicker, but we'll see for real this Friday.

The beauty of the PnP Unichip is that it comes pre-tuned for your IHE bolt-ons. As long as you're not changing cams or boosting, you shouldn't have to re-tune it.

I still wonder how this thing works. The engine harness go into the PnP, the cables out of the PnP to the OEM ECU. Wire also runs from PnP to chip.
Does the PnP just allow the chip to take over the programming and sends one set routine to the car, with a more aggressive timing plan?
I guess the Unichip just takes the max timing of what Toyo has done and takes it higher. There also must be some control left in the ECU's hands, because they say knock sensors may retard the timing on 93 on some cars. I wonder if this engine was kicking the knock sensors in, would you get a CE light?
