Re-Tune Self
Hey All,
Have a question and I'm not sure how to proceed forward. Back in 2019 or 2020, I took my car into a shop to get the muffler noise selector deleted, suspension, and new full exhaust and tuned. The car runs great and no issues to report. The only item I did notice with a odb2 scanner that they set the throttle at 30% on all modes (tour, sport, and track) when I start pressing the pedal. Again, no issues to report at all. I am very happy with the way it is running and performs. I now have a job that is over thirty miles from my home. What I would like to do is get a tuner to (if possible, save the existing tune), and put tune on that would help with gas mileage. Alternatively, if possible. I'd like to set the throttle 0% for Tour mode, and keep it at 30%, for Sport and Track. If there is a specific tuner than can achieve this, that would be huge in knowing what to purchase. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! |

Just drive it and enjoy it. You will not get any kind of mileage gain that will offset the cost of a tune, so it will just be a waste of money. I used to commute 270 miles a day. Even with a few bolt-ons and a tune to match it gets 21mpg. You can't do much better than that with 500hp

Oh so officially I'll need one credit/license to tune the car myself, with unlimited writes for changes. That's not terrible then! |

The change you want it easy, but the problem is that the cost to tune your car will be more than you will save in fuel costs over the first 3-4 years.

I would agree - very little to gain from a retune. Drive like there is egg under foot, pump up the tires, reduce your speed...far more impactful to mileage.

I commute about 40miles one way everyday and my 1LE gets around 27mpg just cruising in 6th gear. Just take her easy on the acceleration.
