Wish we could just use a laptop without the x4 as the medium. It's to slow.
Yeah, it would be nice if we could shitcan the useless box they give us and just let us buy windows based software license.

How was your resolution with the laptop in bridge mode?

I have to keep the pid's under 25 or the data is so lag loaded you might as well plug it into a potato...
13' SHO, Non-PP, Tuned by Torrie, Meth injection, 3 bar, 170* stat, custom axle back exhaust, Prosport Boost gauge.
15' F150 Lariat Sport, all the options, 3.5L Eco. (fiancée ride.)
13' GTCS, will be missed.

I will say that I have had not one problem flashing with the X-4, so it is good for at least that.

Yeah I've never had it fail to flash a tune... but trying to delete old tunes off the device requires me returning the car back to stock, factory resetting the x4 then loading the new tune on it. So once I reach the max tune limit on the device I have to do that process. It's.... annoying.

I have come so close to smashing it... but then I remember sct is about 5 weeks out on any delivery so I calm down.. hah.

Yeah, I wasn't impressed with mine either.

Question is what's the issue?

Pipe too small?

Not enough RAM?

Too processor intensive?

I've considered buying a crapload more RAM, and configuring a Ramdrive to run the SCT software in....

That would suck to do that and not get better results although there are other uses for a Ramdrive.

Sub par specs is definitely the issue. I don't think ram is the complete issue since you can store all the information you want in advance to processing.  It does not help with the fact that it simply cannot consume the data fast enough. It most likely has a processor with laughable specs.

They need to transfer the work load to the attached computer. it would keep the price down and allow for a lot more reliable data.

Yeah I didn't do a boosted launch on the datalogs. Just mashed the pedal from like a 1-2mph roll. Surprising how much longer it takes to get going without a boosted launch. Literally feels like a full second before it even gets going anywhere. Just didn't want tire spin throwing off any data he needed to see.

He said to stick with this tune for a while. Plan on hitting the dyno in May. Kind of want to hit up the mustang dyno for a before and after, but yet again really want to see numbers on a dynojet. Maybe I'll hit up both!

I just ran the x4 connected to the car obd2, and a USB cable from the X4 to my HP laptop.

Also, what's the best way to determine 0-60? Should I data log just a couple of parameters with a boosted launch? I've never had success using torque pro's 0-60. It'll always give me 6 second 0-60s.

2010 Tuxedo Black SHO - non-pp, 20's, nav, massage seats - Torrie Tuned, Dynomax Mufflers, Magnaflow x pipe (3rd cat + resonator delete), 3 bar map, airaid CAI, SP534 .030 plugs. Meth injection and 170 degree thermostat soon! Plastidipped rims and other accessories. 344awhp and 375 awtq on a mustang dyno called "The Heart Breaker"

Like FoMoCoSHO said, the track is the best way to get good timing.  The other seems to be an Aeroforce gauge, so you won't be logging simultaneously, no big deal.  Torque definitely is no good at it.  You can check out Dynolicious, one of the few apps (Apple based) that I have ever read good things about for this purpose.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

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!
