Remap?

[Torque for England]

It would be interesting to see what percentage of you have remapped your MkII Rocket 3's?

No remapping is necessary if you just want all the power that's been restricted by simply changing the settings for throttle settings in the ETV tables (using TuneECU). There's a great video on how to do it on Youtube to "unleash the beast" and doesn't require dyno testing or anything else (other than TuneECU and some patience on your part). One word of caustion is that when you do load a changed map into your ECU you'll lose Cruise Control until you do the switch check (I found this out the hard way). Remapping is beneficial only if you change the exhaust out and disable the SAI. So depending on what you're shooting for will determine the extent of EFI mods you'll need to make.

I would have thought changing the throttle settings is a re-mapping process. Not tuning. Just re-mapping.

When I think "mapping" it's changing air/fuel ratios on a table. The ETV settings are simply a percentage of throttle at a given RPM in a table. It is remapping to the extent any changes have to be downloaded to the ECU as a reflash, however the AF, L, etc tables aren't affected, just how much the throttle plates are open at a given RPM. If you look at the ETV tables for the Rocket 3, there are 3 tables (rain, road, sport). The SPORT table is restricted from the factory to like 76% at WOT. You change those tables to gain the HP back (Richard Albans dyno showed about 30 HP more). YOu can also add some RPM by moving the redline (rev limiter) up adding more juice higher in the rev range. The map is flashed (if you call 20 minutes a flash) and then viola, more power in SPORT. And again when you do that complete the process by doing your Cruise Control Switch check to recover your cruise.
