me think u remap way too early jor without knowing much ori characteristic

. I had sifu remap mine after owning it about 6 month with over 17k mileage on it... Instantly can feel the difference. Buttdyno chart show significant improvement during bumper to bumper jam, no more sluggish 1st gear.

stock map, 1st gear is like dragging few cows on ya rear boot
also it got those so call power surge / 'mivec kick in yo"/ kuat kuat tarik feel @ 3k rpm or so.. after remap those feel not apparent liou... however can feel power climb much more smoother across the rpm especially during over taking.
could be! however it can't be just me as my car was test driven by quite a number of people. and if you read my dyno review, even the owner was a bit surprised on the car as well.
i didn't say there isn't difference, there OBVIOUSLY was a difference considering what i have posted.
and yes, as you said, my main concern was the bolded part.
i actually WANT that surge.
why else some people prefer the old mivec/vtec that actuall open/kick in/lifts (whatever you want to call it) even if it isn't smooth and is unpleasant, hell, during dyno there was an old DOHC mivec (4g92? lol), during the high cam lift ,you can see the engine drops hp/torque for a slight moment then picks it back up with the high cam (which is damn loud btw

)
that's pretty crap for efficiency but yet some people likes it.
