    Just curious, what is the benefit of the switch vs just right foot discipline?

    Position 1 is 500 hp set for fuel Mileage, I dead head a lot.also good for slick roads.

    Center position is 600 hp, very close to the program I ran for years with some adjustments for my cam and compression ratio.

    Position 3 is the fun button 700 hp and 2300 lbs torque. Can’t have too much power.

    Can change on the fly, no stutter, just changes instantly, cruse for economy but if it gets hilly just turn switch and go. Need to pass on 2 lane, turn switch and go. JB Swift try’s one of those 5 mile passes just hit the Cruze button a couple of times and wave by by.
