    Default the Vt V6 memcal from mace engineering

    hi, still new to this lol.. so not sure if this is were i post!

    i recently purchased the memcal for my VT V6 Berlina from mace engineering for $150 and i couldnt be happier,

    just letting people know that it does everything they say!!

    so far ive noticed power gains, and significant fuel saving!

    my lastest fuel usage was, i had just over half a tank and already done 350km's. and i wasnt driving for economy, due to i had the boot in it to test it out and was impressed that i got that much out of half a tank! on the highways, the instant fuel at 100km/hr is around 6.3 to7.0. and crusing at 60, 70 is roughly the same.

    idle is a hell of alot smoother also!

    im loving the chip so far, best investment i have ever made!

    I just got a chip for my VX II supercharged V6 from MACE engineering. its idling smother, shift changes are alot better timed ( even for 1st to 2nd and i have a stage 1 shift kit ) and fuel economy has greatly increased. its worth it man, just ordered a 10 pound pulley for my supercharger of them and have extractors and straight through catback on the list.

    just installed mine tonight and wow makes a difference to the way the car runs. for a vt auto it just wants to keep going when your getting upto 80-100km/h and yea gears are better timed and idles like a baby in a crib thanks mace!

    How big is the power gain for low-down torque?
    Coz we all know, Ecotecs and their horrible low end power can get rather annoying..

    ok after a couple days of driving around with my new mace memcal, have noticed a bit of difference with take off, more responsive slightly more torque, climbs thru the rev range easier and now revs upto 5.5k rpm. also noticed a bit of fuel gain. Also gearbox isnt as clunky when shifting either. So far lovin this chip good work MACE! and for $145 can't complain.
