I will be tuning the engine myself for economy. I have various software at my disposal to change timing, fuel mapping, boost control, etc. I got about 4 mpg more on highway when I tuned for economy in the past. Not much power at low rpms.
I've really been enjoying the car the past few days now that it is hundreds of pounds lighter. Before the car would hesitate then take off, now it is an instant launch when I want to go. I got a spot weld removal bit and will be going at the car for a few hundred more pounds.
The trunk floor is coming out to be replaced with thin plastic or lexan, rear windows are going to be lexan, I'll be cutting away the extra metal on the inside of the doors, muffler is being cut off, I'll likely get a 5 gallon fuel cell to replace the 16.5 gallon fuel tank.
Lots of work to do...
