I will update this as I go. There is nothing on here that is recent, so just in case new people are interested and want to read about someone elses experience I will note everything.
11/21/2011 - Received my FlashPro and immediately configured for my FG2 and the parts installed. Prgrammed my ECU with the basic MAP and felt a new car around me. Shifting is smoother, not butter, but smoother. All of the other settings (VTEC, Rev limit, Speed Limiter, etc.) all changed.
11/22/2011 - Received Email from Steve after one day saying he will be getting my first configuration to me shortly. That was at 7pm. As soon as I received the email notification, I uploaded it to my FlashPro and then reprogrammed my ECU. Did not drive it until the morning.
11/23/2011 - Already another change felt in the way it drives and shifts. Driving on a flat surface feels like the engine is running smoother and shifting is easier. Not the physical act of shifting, but the transition from gear to gear. I will be datalogging tomorrow and then send it in as soon as that is complete. As you can see from the date, it is Thanksgiving, so I do not expect to hear back from Steve during the Holidays. So far Steve has impressed me with his quickness and the fact he was working at 7pm.
11/25/2011 - On my drive back home from visiting family, I decided this was the time to get in my 30+ minute drive and a 3rd gear pull. Warmed up my car as I said my goodbyes and blasted out. Started of with the pull and it felt a little quicker than normal. Red Lined it and dropped it into neutral and let it coast. Once on the highway, shifting was nice. I had to get used to the new feel, so I think the choppiness I was feeling was from me having to get used to the rev hang being gone. At higher speeds (60-80) 6th gear seemed to require a little more throttle to maintain or accelerate to go around someone. I am not the one to always downgear just to pass someone. Got home and turned in the log that night.
11/27/2011 - Sunday and Steve surprises me again with a new config. Immediately I throw it in and warm up the car. I go for a drive in a hilly spot, so I can feel how 6th gear handles the ups and downs and how the engine feels and sounds. Still feel the throttle needing more to maintain or accelerate. 1-3 is quick. After doing a couple of 3rd pulls, I decide to get brave and launch it from a stand still and go through all 3 gears. Very smooth and a lot quicker than stock settings. Transitioning was simple and felt like it was easy for the car to handle. Downgearing is easier now. I was data logging the whole time, so I sent that in.
11/28/2011 - 31 MPG! After all the WOT I have been doing I filled up this morning and and put 10.7 gallons in my tank. 328 miles on the trip. 328/10.7=30.6. I have never seen anything more than 29.5. I am impressed. I just got a new revision today and Steve says he adjusted to get me even more economy. Imagine what I can do if I just take it easy for one full tank. I will be doing a couple for pulls, then I will test out the economy.
12/21/2011 - Finally got around to getting a new log after all the holiday hussle. Car still feels great, and I can tell a huge difference when the car is warm and the weather is cold. Texas gets cold kind of late. My fuel gauge did bounce a round a little, but eventually did quit. I tried driving like a granny to see if I could really get some high numbers on the economy, and it did not work. Right after the reflash, the gauge was bouncing all over, I can only guess something else got a funny read when I fueled up on 11/28 to get that 31 MPGs. I have only seen about 29 since. Really with all the improvements, I am good with a little loss in economy. Steve is still working on it though. Got my 4th calibration today and hopefully I will get around to installing this weekend.


Thanks for doing this for everyone! Very complete :)
