Just quick zero to sixty after getting the final tune from Matt over at Gearhead. Granny stomping it..a little bit of a hill... I live at the base of blueridge.. hard to find a flat spot lol.. even our local 1/8 mile track at Sumerduck is slightly uphill while the stopping is down hill...

Using my phones stop watch I think it clocked around a 4.2 zero to sixty... not bad for not launching...

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!

Thats always the plan! I an hoping for consistency this year so I can try my hand at brackets.. we will see... Worst case scenario is I can do it with the LMS tune as its stupid consistent, but several tenths slower.

When I did some bracket racing, I dialed in a 13.0 even though I could run 12.7.  Made it easier for me to concentrate on a good reaction time knowing I could always let up a bit toward the end.

 Sounds like fun!! Can't wait to see what 1/4' mile times you get with Matt's tune. Any other changes to car? Tires? Suspension set up? Weight?
Thanks

Much like everyone else that takes their SHO to the track, we do tend to surprise a lot of people! I'm sure you will too!

Probably should put that back into my signature...

Forgive the new guy question... Does the tune have different shift points per gear? Looks like in first it shifts @5500 and second shifted at 6200? Kinda like that.
