Just had Wortec re-map the ute.

What a difference!

Far crisper throttle response plus of course more power and torque. Just as important, absolutely no downside at all.

On the way back had a play with a bike, it didn't win! Thats a first for me. After that, just up the road from my house there is a very slow right hander. Normally come out under power in second with the back end just squirming slightly. This time it was all very sideways, wasn't quite expecting that!

Gonna really have to watch it in the wet. No traction control on a ute!!!!

Time to get up the drag strip to see if i can better Matts time.

Not turned on TC for a year, keeps you more alert to full throttle application and far more entertaining.

I'm pleased to hear thar the rework makes such a difference.Although i love my Ute it does lack some drama.I have ordered a new s/s exhaust(inc headers) from WRC and once fitted wil have the ecu reworked ,after hearing your results i can't wait for the results.

ssute, bear in mind also that my car currently runs stock exhaust and air intake, so hopefully your results should produce a bit more power.

Keep us posted on the outcome.

Get them changed ASAP !!! Go the Utes! Should be outrunning those other less useful 2 doors soon!!!
Another drag racing fan too! Was out at a track on the weekend! Flipping manuals...it was so much easier in the Auto!!

Exhaust and air in take need changing? I know!!!

Too many cars, not enough time and money. Will get done though.

Does super unleaded make a significant difference?? Might have to give that a go.
