Version 2.0 Piggyback Review!!!!!!!

Just Finished installing my piggyback version 2.0 on my 2004 Oz rally.
My mods: SRI, ///RRM Header, Catback exhaust. auto.

After installing my piggyback and going through the learning process i took it for a nice hard drive. My car PULLS HARD. harder than before. The piggy back makes a HUGE difference even with I/H/E. i got some low end torque back that i lost from my header and then some. from zero to WOT the car is a completely different animal. before the piggy my car used to jump up in acceleration at 3k rpms, then a bit more at 4.5k to redline. now my car pulls HARDER and SMOOTHER, LONGER! The powerband is definately Girthier. i don't have to dip in to the throttle as much now while carrying extra weight or going up hills. I'ts also way more responsive. as soon as i put my foot down i can feel the car start to accelerate. before i had to wait til about 3k rpms til it really started moving, now it goes at just about any rpm. Freeway acceleration is also improved. my car has a nice healthy pull when i floor it will cruising at 75mph.

Props to ///RRM for improving an already great product. this mod is well worth it. when they say that this is the best mod u can do short of F/I they aren't lying. The piggyback seemed to add as much power as the I/H/E combined. its really that big of a difference. for an auto this car can really get up and go. i recommend this mod to everyone!!!

Thanx to Rock and Gabe at ///RRM for the install!!!

Nice to hear about the gains. When I had the first piggyback I felt a huge difference.

I think the results are even better on the manuals but we have knew it would get good reviews from all.

damn this piggyback is SWEEEEETNNEESSSSSS!!!! i can't stay off the gas. lol

after so more driving it seems like my car is also torquier, making it a lot easier to drive around normally with out going past 3k. after the learning process the car definately has a noticable gain, but now after another day of driving it feels like the piggy is reaching it's full potential. Gas mileage seems about about the same, maybe better. i drove Hard and FAST yesterday for probably a total of 2hrs and only burned a 1/4 tank. not bad an extra $0.10 at the pump is well worth the performance gained from the piggy.

overall:

-better low end tq
-smoother acceleration, no jumps/spikes in power felt. butttery smooth
-harder, Girtheir, acceleration in the mid range and top end at WOT
-gas mileage is at least the same or better
-gain from the piggyback by itself seemed to be as much as intake/header/catback combine(it's that good!)
