Mag Ride update by Jim Mero - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

EvanZR1 · 12-22-2020

Got the Mag Ride software updated by Jim Mero yesterday, and it was immediately noticeable. It doesn't make the car ride like a Cadillac, but there's a noticeable improvement in the ride in both Tour & Sport. On smooth streets Tour will probably feel about the same, but on rough roads, dips, bumps, etc, you'll immediately be able to tell a difference as the car will absorb them much better. As to Sport mode, you can now use it. It honestly feels very similar to the new Tour mode on smooth streets, but you can tell the car is controlled better. You can now use Sport mode as your everyday driving mode. Overall the upgrade is very similar to what GM did on the C7 Mag Ride cars with their updated software.

If you've been thinking about doing it, don't wait anymore and get it done. If you haven't looked at it previously, you owe it to yourself to consider it. The GM Mag ride update was the best mode I did to my C7, and I'd say the same thing about Jim's update to my ZR1.

If you can catch him on one of his "tours" it's as simple as him plugging in to the OBDII port for about 5 minutes. Otherwise, he does a module swap, which takes about an hour to install. Either way, it's well worth it.

Good to see this! I can absolutely confirm that the update did wonders to my base (albeit MSRC equipped) C7.
