Default took my 06 Maxx SS for a boot

So since I havehad te car flashed a year ago, I honestly have not tried it out really..so since the Jeep is broke down for a couple days, I got to take it to a buddies house the other night who lives outside of town a bit...my GF has taken ovr my car after selling her Honda.

Anyhow, my beef with the old setting were that basically it topped out at 165, it was redlining, the shifts were long and drawn out, anyhow now, I can get to about 80-90 kph in 1st....2nd hits around 135 kph before it hits the red, 3rd I got to 185-190 ish...and 4th was around 210, at 5500 rpm....still had some more but a big dually was in my way....only grip is 4th is a littlw sluggish in the torque but gets to 160 now in a flash

LOL this was with my winter blizzacks on 16, I did not put my Porenzas on yet, snowed here this morn...JEESUS already

Thats pretty respectable. Pretty daggone respectable.
I'm planning on buying a flashpaq to program my Blazer for fuel economy, but I may play around with the HP settings as well
