*poke... Any updates, lol
Nothing new since the tune. Bought a new hunting rifle last week so my wallet is not very happy with me.

I have had the tune for about a month now though and my initial impressions haven’t changed. Shift points feel great, trans doesn’t hang like it used to, engine feels healthy.

I’ve run E85 exclusively since I got tuned, and I’m getting about 9.5 mpg combined. That sounds bad (it is) but that’s mostly due to my driving style I think. I just can’t keep my right foot out of the floor. If I cruised at 60-65 instead of 80 on the interstate, I’d see better mileage obviously. The best I’ve seen since the tune is about 13.5 hwy, which is par for E85.

Mileage isn't bad for that. Do tell about the rifle!

You going hog hunting from a helicopter? That would make short work of those pesky oinkers from the air!
Lol I wish. My wallet definitely couldn't handle that. I only hunt whitetail as of now, but I'd love to get into other game in the future.

You can deer hunt with that rifle? Do you have to use 4 or 5 round magazines? I think that's what we're limited to here in Florida when using semi-autos. I use smoke poles with side locks myself.

I feel ya, I got a doe last season with a buddy's bolt-action 7mm-08. As far as hunting goes, the only firearms regs here that I'm aware of pertain to primitive weapons. We have few regulations and a very plentiful harvest each season.

Really I got this gun as an all-rounder that I'm going to be hunting with.
