I had loose VBands and exhaust was leaking at my last track outing. Just got car back from shop, I replaced an O2 sensor and all is tight again. Fuel is stabilized and timing is back. Got rewarded with a new personal best. As I'm really a Stage 1.5, I can only be very happy with my cars current state of tune and performance.

Amazing numbers at 1500DA, like astounding. You should be very happy. I've been meaning to ask you if you had been using Utku or xHp TCU on your runs.

It was always Utku stage 3 TCU as Xhp wouldn't work for me but I was able to reset transmission adaptations to 0 locally and then installed XHP and it all worked out. Also this is break boost not a launch. Waiting for better DA

Awesome run, 140mph in the 1/4 is making power and flying for these heavy cars!

Good 60ft too. I could never get the brake boost to work well, what is your process?

I have Utku TCU but wondering it xHp may be more aggressive. I'm still stuck at 1.7x 60ft

Driven are you spinning or bogging on the launch? I average 1.7-1.73 and I'm just evolve stage 1. Once I had a good DA day and grip and pulled a 1.68. Most of the time my tires just spin and it short shifts so not sure if it's a weight transfer thing, tire thing or combo of both.

I get something similar to what you get, bog and short shift or spin. I don't think I've ever broken a 1.70

Do you recommend Xhp? Not as hard core as you — my car is a 4 season driver. I currently have just JB4 and meth with 93 pump. Taking it up a notch — ordered BM3 and will start with OTS Stage 2, and also ordered CTS high flow 200 cell primary and catless secondary DP. No E85 within 75 miles so E-blends are not practical for me.

Not many and I am more of a highway pull person so I will skip the Xhp for now. Thanks for the advice!

New personal best this morning. -1400DA def helps. I flashed xHP which is just ridiculous in Drag Mode. I'm happy with these results.

After my 6.20 personal best this morning I told Utku that this had to be all shes got, and we should be happy with our times. He wanted to try one more file, and I'm glad I listened. Thanks also to GTATX
