Bad 1/4 mile times?

[SHOdded]

The issue with the Airaid has been not sealing completely against the hood, thus allowing heatsoak.  Make sure the strip is facing the correct direction (post a pic if unsure), and mark the top with chalk to see if it makes a good seal when hood is closed.

Helpful to have a Windows tablet to run any SCT software or Forscan.  Now that Forscan is available for the iPad, you can use an OBDII wifi adapter with it (Bluetooth is a nogo), but that wouldn't help you with the data Torrie needs.

Agree with Panther,plugs gapped at 0.30 and 160 or 170 stat with a new revised tune accordingly.

ZSHO, you don't agree with me and Manu? Ha...just kidding buddy!

Great advice though, check those plugs.

First thing to do is data log and see what the engine is actually doing. Figure out what boost its making, what timing and knock you are seeing.

Based on those, then you can get some insight into your performance.

Thanks guys. Very helpful info. I'll look  into the thermostat and the weather stripping, now that I think of it, my filter was a bit warm today. A little off topic but does anyone have any suggestions for tablets that I could download the live wire software on ? And can a droid based tablet download it?

Your putting super unleaded,93 octane?

[lmteel]

91. I don't have 93 in my area.

What sct device do you have?  I'm not sure if a windows based tablet will work to data log.  I would Check with torrie or sct if any tablet based device would work.  But I'm certain it would have to be windows based.  All you need is a very basic laptop. Look at best buys clearance and open box options.  Or maybe Mike could help you out..  cheap Craig's list find an option too

[lmteel]

I've got an X3 I believe. I'll look around for something that I can get it to work with.

Yeah... I hate our gas in AZ! ...even at Chevron I got a bad tank and had rough idle for almost a week! Still don't understand why they don't just offer 93 octane everywhere.

Idk about the unleashed tune but with Livernois their is a night and day difference between the 91 & 93 tunes. I was on a 91 tune for a while and then switched to 93. I went back to 91 for a month and I couldn't freaking stand it so I'm back to 93. Oh and on my 91 tune I got beat by the new Ecoboost mustang by a good car length to 1 1/2 car lengths and he says he's still completely stock. Now that I'm back to 93 I'll have to give the guy another go, but I may just wait till the track opens back up since most roads around here are covered in sand.

Took me till this past June to break in the 12's and I have LME 4X 3bar tune.  Was on a big learning curve till I finally figured out how to launch the car.  I agree since you can only run 91 octane tune, you are loosing some hp/trq.  Have you messed around with tire pressures any, I found 29-30 works for me here. Is there another track you can try?  My local track is known to be slow and I usually run 13.00 flats most of the time, with the some passes into the high 12's.  When I was out at Milan this past Oct my car ran a best of 12.78 at almost 108, and it had just rained so the track was far from ideal.

whens the last time you changed the plugs?
