perfomance memcal??????

[vs hay hauler]

:bang: please help
I purchased a performance memcal off ebay from blackstar? this is the 185kw
type to suit a vs v8 manual.after fitting it today and taking it for a drive, i
didnt notice much- or any differance in performance i am now thinking this car
may have had mod memcal in it already or the memcal i recieved is stock?
information as follows from original memcal DELCO BWFW 0312 (1997 model)
can any one tell me if this is a standard memcal or not? (blackstar no knock
sensor type 185kw)

no way to tell because it may have been reprogrammed, no surprise u didnt notice anything because by the sounds its just a stock hsv memcal

you will notice a big diffrence in power and it will be way better on long distance trips in the fuel department

As far as I've heard (heard), the 185i's had a slightly better cam and a few other small engine tweaks. I don't know what they are, but the difference is in and the tune is designed for those differences.

your old memcal is the stock 96 vs v8 manual memcal if it had been modified it wouldnt have the sticker on it they dont stick back on very well.i thought the 185kw tune was auto only but i might be mistaken thats the thing with ebay tunes you dont know what you get send it to greenfoam for a tune get him to read it and see what it is before he reprograms it too .cost 50 bucks for a tune i think.

completely wrong. same engine, different tune and a knock sensor

Wow, thought it was more than the knock sensor.
