Hey Guys, thought I would give a short review of how the alpha maps are handling.
Initial setup: Stage 2, 100 Octane - Publically available map. LC2.
First off, I typically use only 100 octane for my car -- so, I had to essentially 'downgrade' my gas to 91 or 93 octane to use these maps. However, after loading it into my car, wow, what a difference! I felt a lot of power midrange as well as a great standard pickup. Overall, the car felt wonderful. There is a big difference with the alpha maps as well, you get (4) boost maps to play with:
Stage 1: MAP 0 = 13.0 PSI, MAP 1 = 15.5 psi, MAP 2 = 16 psi peak, MAP 3 = 17 psi peak.
Stage 2: MAP 0 = 13 psi, MAP 1 = 15 psi, MAP 2 = 16 psi peak i, MAP 3 = 17.5 psi peak
Do you see the problem here? Look at Boost Map 1: 15.5 PSI for Stage 1, and 15.0 for Stage 2. What is up with that? Anyhow, it seems the only real difference between the maps is the .5 psi boost for MAP 3. Let me tell you though, with this map, you will fly! It's quite amazing what the engineers were able to do with 91 octane!
Let's talk about LC4. What a huge difference! Smooth as butter! I can't believe I'm in the same car! It handles daily driving quite nicely, you will not notice the inevitable 'slow-go' anymore. It will pickup when you hit the gas.
There is a minor difference that I was not use to. I have a hill that I need to climb to get into my place, and - we have a key to get into the complex. I would typically 'badge-in' and roll back with the GTR (not hit the brakes) and roll on in, I had to, there is a gate that lifts up to let me through. With LC4, I can't roll back, it kept me exactly where I'm at. Now, I'm not saying that's a bad thing - it's just different.
Overall...
These maps, loaded with LC4 are PHENOMENAL! They make me feel like I'm driving another car, it's so great! Great work to Cobb and all who helped participate to make this possible!
