It'll be a whole new beast!  Dragy works well for performance Data, has been about 5-7 hundredths within my Drag Strip times.

Excited to feel the difference.

One thing I will note about running the 0-60 times right now is that the car shifts at exactly 60 mph at WOT so I do think even without tuning there is another 1-3 tenths that could be gained on those times. Either way though. Still fun to play with so far.

Did the PTU this morning. Sure is tight in that spot. Got just a couple ounces out. Couldn't get anymore so I added the new fluid until it reached the fill hole. Will let that loosen some things up and do a drain again soon. Likely will put in a drain plug in the near future.

You should snag one of these, it makes both the RDU and PTU much easier and get a lot more out.

I'll keep this in mind for the next fluid swap. Thankfully my compressor should keep up fine.

New Cooper Zeon G1 all seasons were put on yesterday. TireRack was closing them out so saved some good cash too.

Initial tune from Brad was also put in Saturday evening. Haven't been able to do good logs yet since we got snow, but can already tell a difference. Did find one spot of clean road on the way to the tire shop Sunday morning to do a pull. Shifts significantly cleaner and pulls a lot harder.

Then... as I turned into the tire shop parking lot the Check Brake System light came on. Lost all power to brakes other than full power with a lot of pressure. Had them take a look to make sure nothing was seized and they couldn't find anything. Once they were done I figured I would pop the hood and check the vacuum hoses. Well, the new tune added just enough pressure to pop off the brake booster vacuum line during that pull on the clean section of road. When the water pump was done that line must have not seated back in all the way. Popped it back on and ensured it clipped fully and was good to go.

Hoping to do some logging pulls today if the roads clear enough.

Pull 1 - 5.62
Pull 2 - 5.80
Pull 3 - 5.48

Last 0-60 tunes quoted above.

Took some log runs to send to Brad today. Tested out the 0-60 while I was at it. Have a little more data this time from the log.

DA was around 4057 based on dragtime calculator.

Pull 1
Dragy - 5.08
Log - 5.198

Pull 2
Dragy - 4.98
Log - 5.098

Pull 3
Dragy - 5.08
Log - 5.137

Overall have gained about a 0-60 reduction of about .5 seconds with similar conditions. Do have new tires on as well.  I'll be curious to see how Brad thinks the logs went.

Maybe Dragy was getting dialed in then.  I know with other such devices there could be inaccurate data returned due to the timing of when the vehicle is deemed to have started the run.

Clamp that sucker.. it will happen again as it has for a few members.  under 3rd gear run that's a fatal failure.

As the runs for logging continue I'll keep comparing the 2 and see what overall results looks like.

Topher - thanks for the note on that. I'll get a clamp on it ASAP.

That's just Revision 1?

Yeah. Just got rev 2 last night and that will go in today. He said everything looked pretty clean. Will add 1 more pound of boost and some minor adjustments.
