Custom "retard" mapping?

That's pretty smart :) A mate took me out in his Clio Sport and pointed out that it does similar...just as we failed to overtake an artic on a dual carriageway :jumping:

If it isn't, please give me the correct info.
To be honest I don't care whether a valet gives my car full beans as long as the oil temp is up there.
I can't understand how valet mode would work, unless it didn't allow you to rev over the 3K threshold?? :confused:

I was told it was load rather than revs that damage a cold engine, so a light throttle and 3000rpm should be fine, WOT up to 3000revs is what does the damage for example

314bhp out of a stage 1 ed30 map is hardly retarded :congrats:
