johng001 Member 192 Member For: 22y 4m 23d Location: Melb Posted 08/04/05 01:00 PM Posted 08/04/05 01:00 PM Picked up my car from HPF Today after having the edit and trans cooler done yesterday. Wow what a difference. For the record my car is a standard auto apart from xr8 air filter and second intake. Standard it ran just on 190rwkw after the tune 240.5rwkw. The differance driving is amazing. The power delivery is so much smoother (and more of it), transmission shifts are crisper also. From 3000RPM It just pulls hard all the way to the red line. I also had a transmission cooler fitted just for insuance.The guys (and girl) at HPF Were great to deal with. I asked about the problem with the TC and they said they were aware of the problem, have told Cappa about it and are waiting for a fix. The TC On mine switches itself if you accelerate hard and brake traction, TC Light flashes then stays on. After the first day of driving I can say I'm more than happy with the result.

Great Result John, to have 50 odd rwkw gain is very impressive. We are very lucky in Vic to have such great tuners at our disposal. Rob, Ian and the team at HPF do great work as well as providing good customer service. Tanya is the mechanic you are reffering to by the way.Only problem now is fighting off the desire for more power, trust me it will come BTW just an additional question, how have you and others found your fuel economy since taking the edit on board?

Great to see <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Stone the flamin' crows! It was funny when all my friends thought I was insane buying a house @ 21, then I went and bought a new XR6T when I was 22, then they got jealous... and they are just plain stupified that I'm building a new house... I guess now my friends are all a little more mature these days and can see what I meant when I rambled on about things when I was 17-18... I'm going to start building casinos, running beauty pageants and combing my hair funny soon GOD ITS LATE!
