Maybe the re-flash works better for a 0-60 than a 1/4 mile time?  ECU's probably a tiny bit more conservative while re-learning the strategy too.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Living and learning. IAT1 was crazy hot at over 110* (69 ambient). Was tough to watch for a blast of hot air at wot with the tree having my attention first 3 runs. Last 2 I was eyeing the rpm's thinking the 12.8 was a launch issue.

2nd set after re-flash

Congrats on the 12.6!  Just a handful of 4 door luxury boats can achieve that or better.  I definitely think you'll see 12.5's soon, almost there.  Will you be happy with a 12.5 or will you want a 11.99 eventually? lol

Nice!

Do you have down pipes or just tune+3bar?

Nice SHOing, SHOnUnp!  I know the reflash usually makes the transmission shift harder but it sounds like you confirmed that it is counterproductive for the engine tune.   Good to know.

Thanks Bruce. That harder shifting we feel after a re-flash definitely isn't a quicker time getting shift.

Had highest reading of boost yet the other day. 16.4 seems a little high for these turbos doesn't it?

That's about my peak also, doesn't seem to be an issue besides a little higher than stock EGT's.

Didn't have the boost gauge functioning with the 2 bar tunes, so I can't really compare what it was pulling boost wise prior. This much boost has to be working those turbos quite hard.
