I was driving to the office yesterday morning with a BMW 5 series that kept riding my bumper (at 70 mph) so I pressed on it and it took off and the 5'er just couldn't keep up. That's what I expected out of it, so I am thrilled! on top of that I can tell you that I am getting about an extra 1-2 MPG out of it. Understanding that this could be that the Q7 is tuned from the factory for 91 and now its optimized for 93 (even though I've only ever used 93)

any other added functions with the tune?
