My Santa Fe buddy came by today to pick up his '08 Bullet AVL, and I was still wondering how it would pull on a steep grade nearby, off we went, he with his AVL, and I with my C5 + EJK. Perfect opportunity for me to get initial impressions of the EJK system now installed on my UCE with a Stage 1 upgrade.
After a 5-minute warmup, I was very pleased at the increase in acceleration just going out the driveway. We dropped by the pumps to fill our tanks, then off for a 1/2 hour ride.
I did not make any adjustments to the initial settings of the EJK, but at the acceleration and cruise settings negotiating the hill was excellent in all gears. There is a traffic light at the bottom of the hill, so I didn't know what to expect going uphill from full stop, but even in 5th gear the pull was excellent and I still had plenty of headroom on the throttle, and since we didn't get out of town due to rain, we never had the chance to see what it would do at high cruising speeds. Still, at 50mph, if I romped on the throttle the response was much better than stock.
I can't wait to get out of town so I can really open her up!
