Finally got back to the track with the new tune

So, my previous best was a 13.76 @ 101 mph, completely bone stock 2014 SHO.  I had a 2-bar map tune put on the car, and drove it for awhile, then got to fiending for more.  Ordered a 3-bar map sensor, AEM drop-in filter, and contacted Unleashed for a 3-bar map tune.  I also did the BOV VTA mod, because who doesn't love the sound of that?

Finally got a chance to get back to the drag strip, and while I was plagued with driver errors (and the track was ungodly busy), I did get a new best out of it.  Not exactly what I was hoping for, but still good.

Put her on the scales, 4662lbs with me in it.  This is also with the custom subwoofer enclosure, amp rack, and related wiring.

My first run was a 13.4 @ 103 mph.  I was not impressed, even though it was quicker.  I knew it had more in it.
Second run, was a 13.3 @ 106 mph.  I was looking at this blinking yellow light on the cluster, wondering what I broke, when I realized I hadn't turned of traction control.  Ok, that explains the first two runs ......
Third run, best of the day, 13.04 @ 106 mph.  It bogged a bit on the launch, I planned on upping the RPM from 2000 to 2200 or so on the next pass.
Fourth, and final, run 13.2 @ 103 mph.  On this run, I left it in D, and it shifted early on me all the way down.

Very bummed that i didn't get my 12.8-12.9, but I feel that the car has it in it, if I could pull my head out of my ass and drive it correctly :D

Did you datalog at all and get revisions from torrie?  It's my understanding now that most of the unleashed cars in the 12's have had revisions done.  The out of box tune is his safest.   What were your 60fts and what was the DA?   The last time I went to the track I couldn't get it to go faster than 13.0 with the standard 93boost tune.  I need to get some datalogging done.

Very very close to the 12's, nicely done!  Any timeslips to share?  That gives the track wizards a peek inside what might be happening, and what you can adjust :)

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!

As mentioned above, you MUST log and do revisions with Torrie. Just from 60-90 I was 3 tenths faster on my final revision than the first tune he sent me. What he sends is just a canned tune to get your baseline from the logs. Just one revision was huge. DA is also important to know. Those could have been 12 second runs if the DA was crappy. I always log the estimated DA from all my runs. My first Meth revision was only tenth faster from 60-90 than my best non meth log, but there was over 1000ft difference in DA, so in reality it is was much stronger.
