Too early to say since i haven't done any. The weather is so shitting, I only get a few in and I've already switched back to stage 1 93 file. Will start to pull more data soon when I have more time. One thing I can share I've felt different big time is the LC torque controlled removed. Will brake all 4 loose fairly easily now even after launching. Need more time with the settings, wishing more people will get these and start messing around with it too. Its freaking cheap so really no excuse not to get it.

I had the xHp Stage 3 for good 3-4 months, ive messed with custom launch control settings a lot, however no matter what i do i cant get the damn car under 3 secs for 0-60. May be because my transmission is from June of 2019. I read somewhere that after sep 2019 transmission got a new solenoid and it shifts better between 1st and 2nd gear.

My 19 was manufactured late 18 and shifts very well 1st-3rd. Do you have any tuning done or are you stock? At the moment I'm averaging 2.86 with this stage 3 tcu tune flash in shit weather. I've already seen it make a difference in run times as well. I haven't mess with any custom settings but I want to.

Hi guys, just wanted to update this thread. Really enjoying the stage 3 tune a lot and would not go back hands down. Only concern I have is the stage 3 moved all rpm shift points to 7200 rpm. Personally I don't believe it needs to be that high. Wrote the company to see what I need to do to move it down to stock rpm shift points.

Im running stage 2 with xHp stage 3. I dont know why it just doesn't get below 3s. What tune are you running for ecu? What size tires? Also when you Launch the car do you let go soon as LC pops up or do you hold for it to build boost? May be somethings up with my transmission.

Haven't tried it yet with stage 2 tune, waiting for DP's to arrive. But agree that doesn't sound right since i'm below 3's with stage 1 and stage 3 tcu tune.

What's your elevation? That plays a part in performance. I'm at 4000ft elevation so my DA is always super high which slows down the car. Use a dragy bc it always shows what your DA is at.

Elevation isnt the problem. Im in jersey. My friend has a 2020 M5 base running stage 1, i personally drove his car it easily puts down 2.8s while my 2019 Comp doesn't do it. All measured by dragy. Off the launch his car just takes off, however on the roll race its not even close my car, buts thats to be expected with Stage 2 vs Stage 1. Somethings just off about my launch. Been messing with xHp custom settings and still cant "tune" it to do less than 3s.

[AngryInch]

Put the settings back to stock and see what happens. I heard that after 100 launches it slows down??

Forgot to ask which wheels do you have? This is said to make a huge difference in 0-60 times. The stock 20's are heavy as f, the forged ones are said to be a few lb lighter. Just picked up some light weight 20's and plan to run and see how much of a difference it makes with the 0-60 times.

Here is today, heat soaked from taking my daughter to dance with 80% humidity. Mind you I have light weight 20's which imo make the difference. If it was cooler out I'd be even lower 0-60 if it will hook. Currently no issues hooking since tires were hot and the asphalts is hot as f outside right now. Love these wheels highest mph in the 1/8 for me, excited to do DP and stage 2 soon.

Great times! Straight 93oct?

[AngryInch]

That is pretty good.

Did you weigh the wheels, which did you get? Mine are in the mail still. I have the DPs installed.

Are you running JB4??

Yes, there maybe some E85 left in it from two tanks ago but I doubt it. Should be mostly 93.

Bm3 stage 1 93 w/ xHP tcu stage 3 tune, drop in air filter and Titan 20's. Removed 16lb from each front corner and 12lb of each corner in the rear.

Great times, are you still running gutted or are seats back in?

[brad65ford]

Nope that was just to learn about doing it and how heavy it was. Its more difficult than doing an rs3's rear seat delete. Will only do again for a hero run, possible after stage 2 e30 with amazing weather conditions.

[AngryInch]

Awesome. I’m waiting on my Titans to show up.. should be here any day. That is big weight savings. Wish I had carbon brakes.

Hear you on carbon brakes, I've had a few cars with them and they are nice when heated up. Weight savings is always a benefit. Really only other weight big weight savings would be exhaust.

News for xHp Users!!!

[brad65ford]

Cool but that doesn't say they can remove the counter? They have responded back to me on multiple emails, at times I don't get straight answers. Regardless I love the tune / tune.
