After I installed my Juice about 10 days ago, it feels that stock is almost a little faster now. The Juice has cold engine protection and won't kick up the power until 130*, and full power at 150*, so I have had some time still driving at stock. It just seems like it pulls better now than it did before. Maybe the added air and fuel cleaned out the motor? maybe the ECM is making the trans work better? I don't know. Anyone else get the same results?
On my DMax, even when temps are down, the box is still adding some timing. So whether cold, or running on "level 0", the performance (and theroetically, efficiency) are up from stock. There might be just a bit of extra fuel too, but I recall that it's just timing.
On my truck, it seems like the truck dogs a lot when it is cold (just like it did before the chip). I think that all cars do that to an extent but it is very noticable on mine. Sometimes if I just start it up on a colder morning and have to get out into traffic quick, I really have to step on it to get her moving haha.
That is designed so you don't over pressure your head gasket before all that metal heats up and expands and seals up really good. Quickest weay to blow a headgasket in a 12v - Have a bunch of fuel on tap and a decent turbo and start the truck up cold and stomp on it pulling out of the driveway. The POP you hear will be expensive!
