I'm not an expert on these sheets either, no clue if SAE is a factor. But each of those runs were the very first ones. No warm up runs, just got them strapped in, run the tires a bit to make them dry because PNW roads are moist this time of year.
Just to add, I've had the car flashed since Dec 28, 2017, Dec 27 was the last day it was on a stock file. I had it flashed to 93 octane because I forgot to remind Alex we only have 92 here and I was about to do a road trip to NorCal the next day. So I drove with 93 octane file on 92 fuel from WA for however long it took me to get to Weed, CA, that was 2 fuel stops of 92. I had 91 file in my computer but I didn't reflash at all between 91 or 93 octane on my 2500 mile total trip because I didn't want my wife in the car bitch about "THE CAR IS BROKEN WE'RE STUCK AT THE GAS STATION". So I drove from Weed, CA on 91 octane with 93 file. Drove around Norcal for 5 days on. Came back to WA. And not once did the car lack performance. No engine start hesitations, no bogging transmission, no SES lights. I've only had the car for 2 months that time from Hawaii. So that road trip was its road worthiness test. It has passed ever since.
Until my battery died (5 yrs old, doesn't like warm to cold climate) on me in the middle of the road but totally separate from the Alpine flash. |
Good information here. Thanks. Seems to me like the gains are definitely there! Just ordered my Alpine tune this afternoon!
