I waited for years to order my PCM4L tune... I dont know why. I just figured my Envoy was fast enough and leave well enough alone
A month ago, I got completely pwned by a soccer mom in a new Chrysler minivan...lol...it was a pivotal point for me. The whole episode kinda de-masculinized me and I didnt like it
lol. In all seriousness, Ive always wanted to get the tune but kept missing the sales.
So anyways, I ordered my tune with #1 shift firmness, no towing, specified I had a CAI although Im working on that next, and removed the speed limiter.
It came today and I could barely control myself.
I came right home and installed it. I started the truck up and went for a drive. I noticed right away that the gas pedal was much more responsive and I could feel more power. The shifts were much much nicer, not sloppy anymore like before. I did make a video but it was on my EVO and kinda sux. I will make a new video with a real camera in the next day or two and upload it for you guys!
First impressions: HOLY SH*T! :wootwoot: I started out my going to a straight stretch of road with no traffic. I came to a complete stop, and then dropped the hammer. For the first time EVER, I left rubber on the road from a standstill
I couldnt believe the throttle response, it REALLY pulls now. It feels like a throttle governor was removed.
After doing a quick 0-80mph which was soooooooooo much faster than before, I went to a turnaround (Michigan left turn) and waited for no traffic. Now before, I could only peel out in a turn, lame I know. So I expected to lay rubber I just didnt know how much...well I almost did a complete donut! Once I smooshed the pedal down, the rear end felt like it was on ice. AND I have A/T tires. It was real hard to spin those babies before the tune!
All in all, what an improvement. I also noticed that, even though I dropped the hammer twice, my average mpg's were up from earlier today...lol. I was averaging 15.1mpg and it was settling at 15.6mpg, in spite of me beating on it a little. I think Im going to like this!
Hats off to PCM4Less for the awesome tax return price, the really fast service, the excellent communications - emails are responded to immediately, and for "waking up" my Envoy!!
