Thanks Chris.  I really think in a few weeks, if it's like 50 out and a little drier with a DA way below 1000 and I run my tank down I should be able to pick up the .2  If I get the Xv1, even better!

From LMS on Xv1 today.

Our tune is still being refined at the current time.  We should be releasing it soon.  We appreciate your patience.

Better to be safe than have people having problems with the tune..

Yeah.  From what I can guess, it will deliver 15+ psi boost with the 3-Bar needed.   Critical AFR tweaking, and fan controls.  Plus, it will have to show a noticeable change over the 4+.  I can wait.  But I'm still hoping it'll be out in the next couple weeks.  2 or 3 tenths gain would be nice!

Just re-read Steve's post.  I did pretty much every thing on there.  My biggest problem I think was having over 3/4 tank of gas.

Hey Dave!
Sorry you didn't reach the 12's this weekend, but there is still hope. I didn't go to see the DA, but I presume it could be cooler and the wind a bit more cooperative right?
Also, the gas tank being 3/4 full, that is almost 0.1 sec just there.
The Eibach aren't the H&R... It is a good in between sport and comfort, but H&R do launch a bit firmer and maybe the aerodynamics play a bit at one point.
Finally, I have my questions regarding the K&N... I drove Bigpelo's car the other day. We couldn't get his car to get in the 12's neither and he has the K&N. It surely makes more noise (which I prefer over the Airaid that is much quieter). However, for a reason that I can't explain, I felt his car was sluggish... But I didn't compare apples with apples since my ride has H&R,  exhaust, downpipes and methanol in addition to the tune only that he has along with his K&N...
Could it be possible that the K&N is just a noise maker, but actually not optimal?
Lastly, what are your tires? If you have 4 seasons or F1, for sure they are not good for drag racing.
Good luck for next time!

My car was VERY sluggish from a stop, and hell almost all the time.  Once I fixed the knock sensor that is causing problems, my car is waaay faster now!  That could be the problem described here.  I have the K&N intake and people were blaming that for my sluggishness, but once I finally pulled that sensor away from the block, my problems were fixed.

I really want to hit up GLD, but more-so with my G8 before the SHO.  I haven't been there in years!

Thanks Nails. 

Does anyone have a picture showing the knock sensor and where the wires touch the manifold?  On my last run Sunday, I thought the nanny was kicking in.  Near the top of first gear I suffered a major loss of power.  I wonder if this could be the cause.  The other runs were fine and it's been running fine since but I'd like to check it out.  Thanks!

Thanks for the link SoCalSHO!  I did a search and it didn't come up!

Sorry for the lack of response, I've been gone until now.  Let me know if that does help fix your issue, too.  My SHO is still playing nicely and I appreciate how she drives a lot more now.  I even used to gripe with how the trans shifted, but it's quite a bit better now.

This Mustang got the hole shot on me but I ended up pulling him all the way.

Your stomping days have only just begun!

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!

I haven't seen any newer chryslers out there in three trips.  I'd like to stomp a few of them!
