Less BHP is better!
CocoPops:
Yes, SuperChips did develop a "reined in" map for reduced torque in 1st and 2nd.
JPC:
directed at anybody that might know. lol
I just thought it would be the best of both worlds, without having to switch maps.
limited power low down in the lower gears, so your not spinning and going nowhere (just ask john_o :happy2: ) but when your in 3rd and above, its warp speed when traction isnt so much of an issue??
182_blue:
i thought this was going to be a McCavity thread :signLOL: , in all seriousness i find the fast map really useable, not sure what you chaps are upto in yours lol
cossy:
Heavy foot probably!
BMW 335i couldnt stay with the lower map though over the weekend! :happy2:

nah, you can never have too much power.
Better to use your right foot to control it rather than not have it there in the first place imo.

....True in theory but not quite so reliable in practice (IMO).
It can sometimes be tricky to avoid wheelspin from lots of power when your throttle response is improved as a result of various mods. I agree that it's better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it, but that applies more to brakes.
I think it's bacillus who has a sig with words something like "Power is useless without traction". It's all about driveability.
But my comments aren't directed at SC or any particular tuner's map. Well, except perhaps the remap which QST did on a good friend's GTI - Horrible to drive! Lots of power but wheelspin in most gears and the feeling of either being either full-on or full-off. Needless to say, disputes arose and I have to say I personally would now never recommend QST mostly due to their attitude and regardless of their products.
