Grooves For Engines

Hi Friends its been months since I have updated the thread.
I have drove almost 5000 kms after getting the grooves !
There is quite a lot improvement I must say. The mileage is constantly around 15-16 in cities (you know B'lore traffic) and in highways if I drive around 80-90 kmph I would easily get 20-22.
I am easily able to make my car move in 3rd gear from speed of just 20. And switch to 4 th after 35kmph.
I had taken it to many long drives, say even ghat sections, curvy roads etc. 3/4 people on board I could make the car easily climb in 3rd gear. Worst is 2nd gear.
Before I had to come down to 1st then 2nd.
As far as other things like heating up etc, no issues found, no leakages.
One thing is bugging me ! What I felt is the low end and mid have been improved but lost the high(top) end performance. Say after crossing 110 kmph it struggles a lot, before it use to easily go upto 130 even 140 kmph.
Is there any solutions ?

Thats very good report bro.
Don't know why its not giving power on high rpm!
I will search on it. Also my bull is on his way to run. Another 3 /4 days remaining.

Great keep us updated, please get some info about the loss of power in high rpms.
Yes you should take help of a mechanic. It should not cost more than 4k.

Friends here is an update..
Yesterday I attended the TAI meet in Vellore.
I had filled up 18.2 liters for 1400 rs.
With this I could travel 381 kms. So mileage is 20.93
Speed was almost around 120 every time. AVG speed would be around 90-100kmph.
(Note : The above figures are with out using A/C)
I am very happy !

The same trip was done by our member Karthik with me in his stock 800 (same model euro 2 mpfi). He also did the same speeds but he got around 17.

It was an awesome experience to drive with Varun and I really felt the magic of grooves. I'm going to get it done!! ![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
My car is very thirsty in city drives !! If I drive in 2nd gear then you should have enough money in the pocket. ![[lol]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Laugh.gif "Laugh [lol]")
But I manage in 3rd gear. So its fine. But with A/C petrol = water.
