Haven't been on much recently, but I wanted to drop by and give an update on my Malone Stage 1 tune after ~25k miles.
In short, I'm very happy with it! I've experienced zero issues, and the additional power/torque is very noticeable. It's especially nice on the highway when you're cruising around ~1500-2000 rpm and want to pass someone, you barely have to flex your big toe and you're suddenly going 20 mph faster
Average fuel economy has taken a hit because I'm having so much fun with the extra power, but if I make the effort to keep my speed in check I'm still averaging >30 mpg on the highway.
Will update if there are any issues, but I would not hesitate to recommend the Stage 1 tune from Malone or any reputable tuner!
