You really gotta get that thing to the 1/4 SBS! Brad's tune is clearly at a disadvantage from the launch with the traction issues but makes up for it very quickly. In the video of you and turbocoupe it's crazy how much you're pulling him in the start of 3rd gear.

Yea.. my friends at the track said the same thing.. that when I hit third gear the car jumps like I have a nitrous kit spraying...

However to be fair, they said the same thing about the LMS tune however with Brads tune it's more evident. Third seems to be the money gear.

1/4 mile times are coming... the closest track is 1.5 hours away so it will would be about a month if all goes well to have a heads up comparison between LMS and Brad.

I give both tunes time to settle in before running them, so it will need to be 2 trips for an honest accounting.

Always has been even in the Gen 1/2 MTX SHOs.  That's why the HD gearset was made.

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!

Do you think that's due to the big spark you are achieving from the jump in octane and meth cooled IAT2 temps? 

3rd gear seems to be where my car falls on its face, granted I'm tune only, and no downpipes so IAT2 is skyrocketing by then killing spark.

Yeah my car seems about the same.  I am blessed out here with long periods of time with cooler temps thru year, but usually associated with wet roads.  Cool temps and cool roads/tires mine will break them loose in a straight line (92oct AJP rev6), but not usually when road/tires are warm, Not even when car is on cooler side and just hitting ope temp after sitting all day.  I would love to have a car that chirps all 4 off the line and requires tweeking to keep it hooked up.  SBS/AJP are going to be the death of my bank account.  I sold my Meth kit "I don't need it" but damn if I do not want it with all his success so far!  Wanting to get a Stage1 kit and have Bradmiester cook me up a tune without the traction mods SBS has, for scientific reasons...

I for some reason cannot find my slips from Aug 25 where I was hammering the LMS tune...

In any event... the ET was 8.1 - 8.2 all night..

AJP was 7.9 to 8.0 all night


I want an honest accounting so as soon as I find the slips I will post all runs from both nights..

My guess honestly is that the meth keeps the IATs low so it pulls harder after the 1/8th mile... but who knows...
