Default PSM (a/k/a Please Save Me)

Been driving around with this turned OFF. OMFG...what a difference. Truck feels like it breathes fire now.

I don't have any hesitation problem, but I heard it enhances performance with PSM off. What an understatment[!][!][!][!][!] [take that Lewis[!]]

Judging by the rpms in this mode and the torgue I imagine it will have a huge effect on fuel economy and eat tires quickly, but it sure is fun.

To be a member you have to join rennlist. I did to support the site as I spend a lot (too much) time here and figure I should help maintain it...

Lower gas mileage: yes
Higher tire wear: no, not unless you are taking corners faster since you are enjoying the car. PSM DME/TCU remapping won't affect tire wear, as this is primarily a mechanical effect. Want lower tire wear?......take about 1500# off the Cayenne (yes boys and girls, there was built a Cayenne ClubSport prototype, RWD only, lightened up....)

Hmmn, 34 posts, not a member, and he's poking me with the [!].
I have become the Rodney Dangerfield of the Cayenne world...no respect.

No, you've become the Henny Youngman of the Cayenne world...

"I told the dealer my Cayenne was defective in five areas... he told me to stop going to those areas!"

Lewis was brought in front of a judge. The judge said, "You've been brought here for illegaly drinking purple Kool Aid." Lewis said, "OK, let's get started."


"Now, take my Cayenne... please!!"
