.15 looks like a healthy # to me to be losing at the track. But that's me. Torque isn't spot on for sure. Spin the tires at all and the #'s get out of whack. But it's a decent baseline to monitor some stuff for sure.

With 450-500 ft/lbs of torque at the wheels with a strong tune and spinning the front wheels briefly I don't think .15 seconds is a lot at all...Would barely be 1 mph..From amateur drivers running street class no less....But we can disagree with one another.

No disagreement...just a different view I guess...every little bit counts. Shoot, if I get .15 from the downpipes I'll be happy. That'd be 12.3's, good start.

Dxlnt1 have you had the chance to reflash your tune? What was the outcome, back to normal I hope!

AJP turbo · February 06, 2015, 12:14:49 PM

No. I have a 14' mustang GT with a Hellion twin turbo kit that that I was tuning on then in November when I finally starting getting the tune right with the SHO the track closed...So here in Pa I won't get to go out until april but I'm anxious to get out

I'll work on a pic...But to be honest I'm not in love with the looks of the SHO. I feel like if you've seen one you've seen them all...Mine is stock appearing but with Police wheels with winter tires now, Tuxedo black. And I'm in Pittsburgh so Pittsburgh raceway park is the only place I've been.

I tuned cars couple days after this posted. Car feels the same. The numbers on Torque went from 9 seconds to 6.

Until I can make a track run, will try ipone dash cam and android torque together. Then see.

But I believe the torque app is where problem is mainly. Still doesnt explain why though.

There are so many variables and factors to rule out,but personally would do some preventative maintenance,grab a can of maf cleaner and remove both of the map sensors and IAT sensor and spray some inside,also do the same for the connectors,overtime dirt,oil buildsup inside and can lead to poor performance. http://www.amazon.com/CRC-Throttle-Body-Single-Use-Twin/dp/B0091KCH6U/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1423312147&sr=1-2&keywords=maf+sensor+cleaner

Torque pro uses GPS I think for timing features like 0-60 and 1/8 or 1/4 mile...bet we're getting some kind of lag at times with those bouncing of satellites .

Adaptive learning...it's in these cars

AGREED,the major variables are driving style/ECM MEMORY,fuel and ambient weather.
