had my first R-Tech Map

Not much between the maps then? The SC does make less torque, mine made ~280 lb/ft, but I prefer that TBH, as it's kinder on the OEM clutch and has less tendancy to spin in the damp - no point having more torque if that translates to losing grip. Especially laughable in some VAG diesels, 400lb/ft through FWD - feel very quick, but rubbish for 80% of the time when it's damp in the UK.

As I've said in other posts. Peak figures are pretty much the same across the range of maps available. It's how they drive that matters :evilgrin:
I used to get 40+mpg with cruise control on at 70mph, don't see the point in speeding up, sitting up someone's arse, slowing down etc so I just sit at 70 and relax, can usually hold that speed well as long as I plan in advance for overtaking. Never find I get anywhere quicker trying to drive fast, so don't bother.
I save the acceleration and "fun" side for the country lanes :driver:
