    Default memcal for better fuel usage

    Was wondering if you can get a memcal for a stock motor that will use less petrol, i know you can get edits on the stock LSX that give you both more power and use less fuel. can you get the same for a emotec

    Lol, emotec?

    I believe you most certainly can, my VT with the power button in seems to pull more per tank than without. Just chipped it too so will see how that goes for consumption.

    i had power chip from doc bob, but due to fuel prices i went with an economy tune, it's basically the same as the stock chip but with fixes to enhance fuel economy on the stock chip. Like anything though pedal control is the fuel economy.

    Guys, I don't like to do many VS tunes, to get the performance from them that I aim for means redoing quite a few of them (since they vary _alot_) getting a big gain from a VS really is almost job for having the car there in person. I could make a mild tune for them all and just be done with it but I refuse to do that and so it takes more time than I'm willing to put in (once ina while I'll do one). VR's however I like alot more, they are very consistant in build. The most consistant of all the V6's infact
