Let’s just say I love the trunk space of the Stinger!!!!

I bet you do lol hauling pigs around lol.....you might as well say i had a pig in my truck

That will last maybe one attempt before you decide you're completely wasting your time. You can make it work good enough on a well prepped track but on a dusty "private track" with no prep and colder weather, forget it. If drag performance is the goal get some 18" NT05Rs. I went with the more streetable 555Rs just because I had a used set in the garage already. On fresh NT05Rs our car would have easily run 11.90 already.

You really worry about my time management, lol.

I will just drop requested torque in the first 3 gears, and let the topend make up for it

So this would be like boost by gear but more accurate as you are controlling torque directly yes? And even with changing or various mods, weather, this setting would still stay constant?

does this forum have no mods? Jesus...

Just tested map2 (JB4) and reduced boost in 1st gear, and dropped .7 seconds back off my wheel spin for 4.07 0-60, and not the best launch, still spun on the shift.

Carrying 4 passengers, 15lbs of bacon and about 30 more pounds of miscellaneous crap, and 1/2 tank of gas...... not bad, not bad at all.

Quite impressive to achieve that while carrying four passengers, unless they were all babies. If recorded with dragy, please post.

Don’t forget the pig he was carrying ....

Just recorded on the JB4, which for 0-60 is probably pretty accurate. It’s only monitoring speed, not distance and time.

Yes, it would be similar to torque by gear/request.

Yes, it would be a consistent value, but I also have control of the traction control settings inside the ECU which I thought was interesting.

The JB4 performance monitor is as accurate as any other OBDII data based performance monitor. But not as accurate as high speed GPS based dragy. Good enough to give you an idea of what's going on but reality may vary.

I can verify the speed accuracy via radar. If the speedo is on, OBDII would be very comparable for speed, and speed only, I agree. It’s def good enough to be within 2 tenths of second on 0-60.

My app obd fusion was off by .4 though it was consistent run to run.
Gotta go dragy for 0-60. $10 off on amazon $139

Reduced boost in 1st gear to help with the launch, went a bit quicker. Most of the gain probably from the extra slope. For a 1WD vehicle it's just difficult to put the power down out of the hole. Even with better tires.

Look how much you picked up in the first 1/8 by holding throttle and timing in the shifts. (gray line dropping is improvement, flat is the same). Almost all your improvement was first 1/8th.

 

[Terry@BMS]

Analysis is flawed because it's all in the launch, throttle changes had almost no significant change on the trap or MPH. Makes sense as it was never closing enough to reduce boost in the manifold. Now adding timing at higher RPM did help top end and MPH a bit but the overall ET gain was minimal. Largest factor outside of launch IMHO has been the slope. That can easily shift the run up or down 0.05s. And when every 0.05s counts it's a factor lol.

After the 60 foot (launch) to the 1/8 you dropped .08. Second 1/8th you dropped .02
3 shifts in the first 1/8, 1 in the second.
If you consider the launch the first 1/8 mile then you are correct.
I get the feeling you don't even look at my pretty graphs! Hurt!

 

[Terry@BMS]

It spins in to 2nd gear also, so the launch is about more than just the 60' time recorded.

 

[TwinSnails]

Mine does, too. I’ll play with boost by gear there too and hook better.

 

[Allmanb]

My AWD breaks loose on map 7 when it is damp out in 1st and 2nd

What do you have the settings at for 1st gear? I think I'm going to mess with mine later today.

I believe 1st gear is set at “3.0”
