That's auto box ecu learning adaptions. Nout to do with engine ecu.

More gently driven cars will shift earlier than those that are driven...  ... more progressively.

I knew there was a reason I went for a 3.0/3.2

Seems OK, TBH, the lack of cc shows at motorway speeds, and is evident in your vid.  The bigger engines just keep pulling through.

My old 2.5, Goldie, had 3.0l cams and a Superchips chip, and was absolutely nowhere near my 3.0l MV6.  It was shortlived, I overcooked it up the M40 one day when I was late for an ABS meet, much to the amusement of the ABS members as I pull in the carpark by coasting, and even more amusement when Tunnie had to come and tow me home

Also having never driven a 3.0/3.2 i value your opinion

I've had both a 2.5 & a 3 litre Dan, and the 3 litre is very noticeably different in the pulling stakes.
If (or maybe when) I decide to have another Omega I'll definately be looking towards a 3.0/3.2, although I'd still be just as happy with a 2.5 if it's the right one (eg, very clean & minimum CDX spec)

As far as your video goes, your 2.5 is definately quicker than our's was without a doubt.
It will be interesting to know what it's done to the fuel consumption compared to the stock ECU, you'll have to post back and let us know once you've driven it for a while as you normally would.

As a four pot owner I have to say....I WANT ONE LIKE THIS!!!!  I can't compare but it's relly nice

Ditto ... is there such a thing for the 4 pot or would a software u/g on the auto ecu be just as good

To quote my dear old father, RIP, "You can't put a shine on a turd".

Roughly translated, buy a V6 (or V8 )

No replacement for displacement, as they say

OK quite understand the superiority and popularity of the bigger six pots  but some of us do have the much malined, lowly, 4 pot's and like our miggy's just as much .

So can I repeat the question and hope for some information

Bit of an update. I did a run from Dudley to stoke and back again which is a 80 mile round trip and I found the mpg a little better. I can have a quarter of a tank in and the reserve light comes on about 5 miles from home but no reserve light this time. Was driving Steady as usual. I do notice though there is no delay in normal drive mode. Its almost as responsive on the throttle as it is in sport mode.

Few people asked me to do a 0-60 video to give opinions of my chipped ecu

wow think that was faster then mine.

Take no notice of them, there is nothing wrong with a 4 pot, same car and very capable, just not as fast...........I do believe they are very tunable though.......

Dunno, its difficult to tell. You really need a proper head to head race though it seems quite fast to me.
