ECUTEK =

Crispy Throttle response
Adjustable traction control threshold
Map switching with Cruise/Cancel
301 hp / 254 tq

That's with Cat back only.

I'm very happy with the overall setup! Might want to ease back the throttle response a little bit (it's adjustable too). Makes slow starts difficult.

Did a galena run this past sunday. Posted it on several fb groups about 2 weeks prior. Surprisingly, out of the 12 or 13 that tagged they were coming, only one person actually showed up.

It was a bit cool out but turned out well. We hit practically no traffic on all the fun backroads.

There was one of these sitting in the middle of nowhere.

Also some chickens or turkeys in the roadway..

Nice. Do you have the bluetooth connector/app so you can change settings on your phone?

Naw, i adjust traction control thru the OilTemp hijack.

Cruise control and Oil temp gauge still work great!

Oh, and the bluetooth dongle is $350 *cough

Would love to, but it's a 3 hour drive without traffic.

Looks like July 9th I'm off.
I will definitely try to come out, since I have never attended this event.
Is this a big gathering?

Jsolo · 06-03-2017, 05:41 PM

Thinking of doing another galena/ia run june 25th.

Who's coming with?

Jsolo · 06-11-2017, 01:24 PM

Here's the details:

Date: 6/25/2017 , rain date: TBD
Meet time: 7:45am
Meet location : Road Ranger off of 90/20 - https://goo.gl/maps/z3jp1SHtay82
Total distance: ~350 miles roundtrip

*Please park in the area in red - http://i.imgur.com/QP1nSW3.jpg

Pace: Slow in the straights, spirited in the corners.
Lunch: Red Robin in Dubuque, IA

Requirements: Be fueled (both you and car) and ready to go. I'd like to be on the road by 8am. We should be back by about 5 or so.

There's few technical/scenic roads around here. These are probably the best and we'll hit them all. We'll also make our way up north pat Dubuque to hit the Great River Road in IA (C9Y). We'll stop at the Balltown Scenic Overlook.

We'll stop every hour or so. All breaks are at gas stations.
