Default good idea?

after seeing the mpg thread, i started thinking.

would it be a good idea to have 2 tunes for the R? i mean a chip for maximum power and another for maximum mileage. how good can the R do if it was tuned strictly for mileage? i know some of you guys hit 30+ on highway but can the R hit 40s or even 50s on a strict mpg tune?

i think its even better if you have the ostrich emulator that you can just plug a laptop to the ecu and upload what program you want whenever you need it.

A properly tuned car gets the maximum power output and the best MPG. If you keep your foot out of it and stay on the part throttle maps you will get your best MPG. Drive like me and you will see less MPG but you get to hear the sound of MADVTECYO!
