I've been running only EC3 and EC4 only the past 2-3 weeks. Obviously it would take logging several tanks of fuel/mileage/miles, etc to confirm if and how well it works... However, my previous tank of fuel ended up @ 20.5 mpg, and since filling up and running on EC3/4 only, I've used about 5/8 of a tank and I'm still at 22.3.

As Sycraft mentioned, it can be unsafe. I agree. If you use the economy mode, especially about EC4 you really need to think ahead before you try to maneuver in traffic... I tried EC4 for the first time on the freeway today, I don't even recommend that, I think at high speeds, you're better off stock or in SP mode w/ the controller.

Has anyone seen any new info on the blue and yellow wires for the other options? I think one of them was launch control.

Installed mine a little bit ago. This mod is well worth the money. It's an upgrade that you actually can feel. I'm so glad I purchased this product. I'm going to keep mine on SP9 as I've got plenty of experience with manuals. The car just rockets off the line now.

Installed mine today and it def helps acceleration off the start, i was testing mine on sp9 and notice under hard acceleration and shifting that my clutch was slipping pretty good from the immediate throttle after the clutch was let back out

Both wires are for launch control, the feature hasn't been implemented yet.

As for ECO mode, I use it for traction control in the wet or when Ive got my girl in the car.....or anybody else for that matter that doesn't care for the way I drive.

I however have an LS3 so even on higher ECO settings its still not "dangerous" to me.

Just ordered, I'm in China for 2more weeks, I hope they will have arrived by the time I get home. To bad I already put on the winter shoes just before I left, don't want to burn those to much.
I'm curious how it will work together with my LPG system, I guess no difference as on petrol as it only speeds up the butterfly opening speed?

It's a awesome investment. You truly do feel the difference between sp0 and sp9. Especially in 1st gear. My girl took my car out to go pick some food up at the deli and I forgot to tell her I installed it and left it on sp9 hahah. She stalled it twice she didn't know what she was doing wrong. I then told her what I installed and she laughed and told me it's the best mod I did yet.

I received and installed mine today! Been playing around with it all day, hardest part is for sure is getting the throttle harness off but once that's done it's all smooth sailing. Great product and does exactly what it's suppose to I'll be keeping mine on sp9 in dry conditions for sure. 1st and second gear are absolute animals now seems like the car just wants to go! I'm sold!
