Was excited here in Edmonton that we had a few reasonable (crap for most of the 997 Forum world) days to pull my car out of storage. I had just changed the plugs before I put the car away last November so the car had added new power that I was excited to play with... Well I just noticed that in fact the 6th gear pull causes my clutch to slip now (Tune + Exhaust + 52,000km on the Odometer). Oh well time for a Sachs 2.5 upgrade before spring.

how long have you had the tune in terms of km driven since you uploaded the tune

I have probably put on 8000km's since I did the tune. I do however believe that I was slightly misfiring in my plugs until it started throwing a CEL towards the end and I got my plugs changed. So I believe the full power of the tune was never realized until after the plugs got changed so my clutch never saw it. But I definitely saw my rpms rise as the power escaped in 6th gear yesterday.
