And when you get off the throttle it takes forever to get back to 45. I equate this car to a small motor with a large turbo at very very low boost lol. I just wanted to make sure there wasnt something wrong with this car. Our Motis at work cannot connect to my car so I cant see fuel trims. is there any software for our cars?

Subarus use a program called open ECU where all you need is the free software, a Tactrix cable and a laptop to see everything and tune. My tuner used it reliably to tune my car at 21psi with 565cc injectors and still keep the IDC at around 75% and optimal AFRs.

Or a Genisys

Just hooked mine up a few minutes ago for fun; full datastream info for my engine, etc...and my tires ranged from 68-70 degrees, 33.4-33.7 psi

Thanks! I spent the last week getting really poor gas mileage. 6.5-8 mpg in the RV for 2200 miles, and 9-11 mpg in the race car for about 19 hours. Can't you just feel the global warming I've caused?
