here's another run i did on the way home. notice my 0-60' times are similar!
the only difference today was the shift firmness was set to 0. funny how the overall speed was better on the second run but slower time. can't wait to put in the 91 octane level and do another test. also still want to compare stock numbers after all this. the slower 60' time was more tire spin on takeoff.....hope this helps....

next run

60' =2.47@ 28.2
1/8= 10.15@ 71.00
1/4= 15.8 @ 85.4

two 0-60mph runs (today) were 6.9 and 6.97

 

A 1.76s 60' time is a little hard to believe, some days at the track, my 12s mustang on slicks pulls similar 60' times.

 

First off thanks to the two guys w/ both tuners for posting info on both. I have a quick question, some of you have been posting about sending the xcal2 tuner back to T.P. after the dealer reflashes your pcm, I was under the impression that the xcal2 had the ability to hook up to a comp for updates - is this true?

The website includes this :
"7.) USB cable required to connect the Xcalibrator 2 to your laptop or desktop PC for things like datalogging, email program updates, Internet firmware updates, etc."

 

I think that is another $65 or so option..Not 100% sure..but look on the website and it should have an option to order the email updates

 

You got to remember that the program included with EDGE isn't an official Christmas tree...so I can see where the 60' time would be lower. You press a button...then wait a second then stomp on it. Not exactly like sitting on the line waiting to see a Christmas Tree light up.

 

Not really. It it exactly like a real christmas tree.

If you leave early, it red lights. If you don't leave at all, the timer doesn't start until you do.

 

what I meant was that the user has total control of when to start the tree....therefore you can anticipate the green better than relying on somebody else to start the tree.

 

That still doesn't mean anything. Your ET has no relationship to your "christmas tree" start. It measures the time when you broke the starting beam till you pass the 1/4 mile beam. Your time isn't adjusted to account for how early or late you started accelerating.

I think your timing device that you used for the 1.76 60' time is a LITTLE off You'd be picking up pieces of your driveline after that... IF your tires hooked up.

 

why are there any personal attacks anyway. this is opinionated blogging. if you disagree with a point of view state it and keep the reat to yourself. i stated in another thread... you guys have a special piece here(5.4 3v). with vct your tune can make HP limited only by your lift and duration, not by cam phasing. ther are going to be innovativr tuners that are going to take advantage of that fact and reatrd the cams for big HP gains. i fully expect to get more HP just by revving it higher. just because it is rated a (X) rpms, doesn't mean it makes more than that at just a few hundred more rpm's. you are no longer just tuning fual and spark curves, you are phasing the cams in conjunction.

 

i agree with the above...that is why i did it again and definately got slower numbers. don't know what happened on the 1st run. i definately got a better hookup with little spin on the first run though...second run really spun the tires. double checked all the inputs especially tire size and gearing and they are ok....most likely just not real accurate, but gives you an idea anyway....

 

Sorry for doubting your numbers, i truly believe they are real. That being said, i went to my hunting camp this weekend and did a 1/4 test with mine using the edge timer. 15.13 at 92 mph. 3/4 tank of gas, full load of tools/hunting stuff and 2 hrs of 80mph heat in the engine. I still have the shift settings at stock, so there is more there. Remember, i have a 2wd screw. Dont know how accurate the edge timer is though. Can you do a comparo between the edge and gtech timers?
I dont think there is "much" difference between an adjusted Edge and a Troyer tune. That is my opinion though and a dyno test would be very interesting to see.

 

Load it and enjoy? BS!! to get the full performance you have to spend much dollars and time to tweak the Xcal 2 (datalogging) I think it might be worth it, but the work is not "already done for you"

 

Interesting thread..

 

Are all the parameters available to you in the xcal2? So that, provided you had the ability, you could simply adjust the fuel etc yourself instead of waiting for MT to send you the cure? Is it another 6 week wait when you send in the data? Just curious as to how that's done.

I do not see how you got a 7.2 0-60. Look at all my mods, and you beat me with just a tuner, with my XCal2 and the rest of the mods I am running a 7.4 0-60 or so. I STILL can't beat that stupid lowered stock Chevy (flowmaster exhaust only). I have 3.73's as well so I would imagine that would be an advantage over you, I am guessing you are only 200-300lbs less than I am as I am an Screw and you, Scab. I am extremely disappointed in hearing all this.
