I am off to the dyno on Saturday with a bunch of the Georgia bunch so we'll see if there is any change since "n". We'll have afew 05 models too and they do not have "p" available.
Check for results in the SE forum after Saturday.

Yes, the compressor mounted to the engine that is driven by the belt driven pulley...

The stock cutoff was actually cutoff at 65% of throttle position, so I wonder how they equated this to RPM...?

Tried that... Can't get one with cups strong enough to stay on with windscreen during full throttle acceleration... Nearly lost my nose last time.. :D

I'm pretty sure that the AC also kicks in if the heater is set to either of the defrost modes, it does on most cars. So you will need to turn it off AND set if to floor and/or vent.

The PCM should be programmed to disable the A/C compressor under certain throttle/load conditions to aid "passing". Isn't that what we are talking about, here?

Just another data point:

Two days ago we got our first day over 100 degrees and sure enough the MIL came on. How I got through last summer without one I do not know. Today the tech found code P0456, looked up the tsb, and flashed me to the -P code (I think I was at L). I don't notice a difference in driving. We'll see about anything as we go.

I had this happen this week. They reprogrammed the computer- I need to see if they did the P flash. But... I just got 19.5mpg in the tank since the reflash, where my previous tansk were 15-16 (with my constant hard driving). Hmmm.

To drivers with CZ1.1 installed:

I just got my car flashed today and assume that it was flashed to P. Now can I still keep my CZ Stage 1.1 in? Has anyone experienced some ill effects to the car after reflashing to P? Also does anyone have the latest flash that Maurice put out for 1.1? Thanks in advance

Maurice said soon he post some new maps, but you need tune each 8 differently... He was working on tuning an "N" flash car for WestCoastFun. I looked at the map, and it will not work on my 8 because of my high flow mods.

Thanks, Definately I will wait and see what Maurice will turn out in the next couple of weeks.

Just to clarify Maurice's last stock map for the 1.1 was back in September? If not does anyone want to share a more recent one?

This should explain the "what the heck is 37.3" question

P flash yielded more power on my car at dyno this weekend. Will post new dyno sheet as soon as Dynolab emails it to me. Time to update my sig again!

Just a thought.....so every one relax

but...is it possible that some or all of the power increase felt or shown through dyno is actually from the ecu being reset and not actually the new flash itself.

i dunno it is possible what do you think?

That would be a good theory except that Marietta 8 is well-educated in such matters and probably avoided that issue.
