His response "But did you specifically ask them to check the rail pressure"?

End result Rail & Reg replaced at no cost.

You must be a patient nice bloke lol, well done on the end result! Impressive dyno results too, how much zing @ the back wheels?

Its better for sure hey, will be good to see the hwy numbers then the city numbers again, still can get a little lower Imo. Well done 4vxc, are you happy so far with that number?

yeah not too bad for what it is, its a big car with a 4 speed auto so its fine with me.
Replacing air filter with a Fram next week, then regular maintenance and just keeping it as close to showroom cond as possible like it is now

bit of a update, after the Fram air filter went in it's getting high 14's normal suburban driving. Still no codes but might fit a new o2 sensor anyway

I replaced my intake manifold gasket a few weeks ago and cleaned the throttle body and idle control valve. The gasket may have been broken but I didn't know for sure as it is brittle and broke up upon removing. The end result is a much smoother idle and what seems to be better fuel economy. 14L per 100 km suburban sounds about right for a VCT. I will post my figures later.
cheers
