The RennTech Stage 1 Power Package ECU Upgrade is amazing. The idle speed is slightly higher now and where you could feel the engine running at idle, it is now totally smooth, which I believe is due to richer idle strategy. Tailpipe emissions are still almost non-existent.

Power was good before, but now the car reacts more like my 1970 Porsche 911S in that when the RPM come up to 2800-3000, the car comes on like it has been rear-ended by a cement truck - much stronger pull than before. Shift points also appear to be raised too, hitting right around 7,000-7,100 on the upshifts by the in-dash tachometer.

Fuel economy, during normal driving, appears unchanged...
