I modded it when my 2.8 crank broke in half. That's when I installed the 4 speed transmission that's in it now. Like I said, the 4 speed knocked my 70MPH cruise RPM from 3800 to 2100. HUGE difference. I wanted an even lower geared version, but they're hard to come by. I wanted the lower gearing in order to keep the RPM down and loading a little higher.

Using the app, I've determined the fuel cutoff parameters for my engine. If it's above 1100 RPM with the throttle closed, it will cut off the fuel after about 5 seconds. I've downshifted while going down steep hills and been able to go about half a mile without using any fuel. I use it to slow down when coming off the highway too. Works out pretty well. I'll take the 66% TPS into consideration when accelerating and try to see if my average improves. Thanks!
