They are just switches. You can move them from car to car. Some of our local customers actually share them since they track together.

Hahah! The force is strong! I can lend you mine to switch it over if you like. I would need it back though. We are close enough if I remember.

I was wondering if anyone else just drives around in Map C? (stage II)...

It's been cooler here in NC lately. I switched to C last Friday and have been driving it like this all week. Seems the only time it would make a difference is when I'm at WOT (Open Loop) and in the upper boost range.

I wonder if when driving normal, would it not matter what map I'm in, then I would not have to reach over for the SPS just to put it in kick *** mode when needed😁

Maybe I got lazy, but seriously wondering if anything to worry about driving daily in Map C in normal commute?

I was driving around in stage 2 on C for a week or so running meth. It was sweet! Went back to B.

You can drive on Map C daily if you keep it under 5k if you are on typical 91 or 93 octane. If you have race gas, meth or both, then you can redline it.

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding guys. I am always running Meth, LOL, I see no reason why not to. With that being said , I just don't see a reason to go back to Map B, unless poor weather/road conditions of coarse, LOL. I am addicted to the way Map C feels during normal and spirited driving. That plus it's produces the best exhaust note, at least to my ears😁 Manic FTW👍

If you let the valet or your wife, then you can switch it to stock .
I was thinking of making map A valet mode, so there is very minimal power. Maybe 90hp tops!!

If your Map C is for meth/race gas don't use it without meth or race gas.

Them Cali prices for fuel are a killer, i dont think its that high in Ohio i haven't fulled up in a while since the car doesn't get out much, this is why i can run race fuel all the time.


Deff would not Daily on race gas

Edit: looked it up 260GT $9.98 per gal

We have a guy who runs 100 daily on Map B but only has a 10 mile commute. He puts in 109 for Map C.

100 is $7 at the pump out here

Seems Meth is the best way to go. I would only bother with race gas prices if I were putting it on the track.

Thanks for all the input, seems the verdict is never run Map C without Race gas or Meth.

I highly recommend that all Manic Stage II owners run at least Meth on Map B. I data logged it, and those temps rise with Boost hitting around 20psi.

I have seen no depreciation in fuel economy so for me Map C is a keeper. Map B for bad weather, and Map A for long trips needing moderate driving.

I'm going to install some NGKs and enjoy a spirited weekend😁

Roughly speaking, on a stage 2 tune with a dp and decatted and intake, how much extra hp would be gained with an intercooler? Same question for a meth kit!
