Finally got some Dragy time!

Though I must admit I am a bit disappointed in my times. DME Tuning Stage 2 tune, Armytrix catless down pipes, full Armytrix exhaust, NGK 2 step colder plugs, plus running a mix of 2 gallons E85 and 8 Gallons of 93 octane.
I Know I am lacking in the traction department, however, I would still expect the trap speeds to be 5-6 mph higher.
Please review and let me know what you think.

You should be a half second faster at least.

I wonder if you're turning traction control completely off by holding down the button for 10ish seconds. How are you launching the car?

11.55 and 11.71 were with DSC completely off and me holding revs at around 2k then rolling into it. I still have the stock pirelli run flats 245 x 19 at all corners, so i know tracion is a problem. Even so, I would expect a higher trap speed.
The 11.49 was with launch control.

I really want to get the car on the dyno to see what the curve looks like at higher RPMs. The 1/8 mile times don't look too far off.

Hello,

I am having the same results in terms of 1/4 mile time and speed. I noticed that the Turbo's are not holding boost in 5th gear.

Something must be wrong
Didn't you almost hit 10's with BM3? I have just evolve stage 1 and run slightly quicker and little higher trap by few mph. Did you speak to Mo about it? He always seemed like nice guy

Yep, got down to 11.07 with DME Stage 2 (Mo) and 11.08 with BM3.

With cold start delete, I like the armytryx. Before cold start delete, the start up was borderline obnoxious

Did you look at xHP? I found the stage 3 trans tune to be pretty good.
