why does the k8 ecu feel faster

okay so i was trying to figure out a way to save gas .... and for some reason i concluded that since the k8 ecu is designed for a smaller engine it would use less gas on a ze set up.... yea stupid i know but thats beside the point i left that ecu for about two days and for some reason it felt alot faster ....any ideas

No, should not be happening, it is possible that there is abit more torque at low end because it runs so rich, but top end would suffer as it runs super lean, what IM are you running?

Because it is faster if you're using a KL02 VAF. I've already posted the HP numbers with the K8 ECU vs KLDE ECU. It's a LITTLE bit leaner with K8 ECU, bit not much .... but enough to make more power.

Yeah i am using the klde ecu too with a klze performance chip and the KL02 vaf, honestly this work better then a KL36 with the JE50 vaf.

cheers
