Don't get me wrong.

I don't want to create waves or make anybody feel bad.

All I am saying is that the electronics in our cars are self learning.

they will adjust acordingly to the driver style. when we want it to perform, it will drag its but for some time before it will give all it got.

I am very old school, i used to work on cars that the only electronic thing in them was the radio. But I have learned that today HP is made with software, not hardware and the PCM is to blame.

I loved the Turbo magazine article on the SRT, they spent over a $1,000.00 in parts to produce almost the same HP that they would have gotten with stage 1.

Ian I hear you. But my point is that my car is a bad example, because it get's driven so infrequently that it's almost like starting from scratch each time I start it up. I had forgotten about that, when I responded to your post about the ECU learning theory. If I drove my car every day then it would be useful to prove whether or not your theory is correct. But since I don't drive my car every day then, my experiences would be classified as not revelant.
