I was the first WW X in jax, but i think there additional of 2 more. so there 3 WW X including myself

The car is so new... with the Z chip and MBC what is a safe amount of boost to run ?

and.. last question... how is it for fuel mileage? Does it increase it the way an actual tune would?

Customers have reported fuel mileage increases with the zchip.

Maximum boost we are recommending is 24psi on 93 at sea level.

well that's good, but are they getting the 26-30 that some are reporting on the highway that have had an actual tune?

This is correct. The fuel mileage is equal if not better than other tuning methods due to the way the ZChip works.

Fuel trims during closed loop work the same way no matter if it's a reflash, a MAP interceptor piggy back, AEM sensor-interceptor piggyback, etc.

It will always strive for stoich no matter what up until it's max trim compensation value is reached. It would throw a CEL if it gets too close to the outer boundaries of it's compensation.

With a reflash you can run the car in open-loop all the time and run a bit leaner than stoich but most people do not do this. A reflash can also change how the EGR operates which can change mileage as well. (for good or bad)

Cruise timing can be changed by any of the above tuning solutions. This will help mileage as well (or hurt it)

"When to tune" becoming "Florida arguing gone wild" = the CLOSE.

You guys need to knock this junk off.
