I'm convinced that Vince is having tranny issues. There has to be an explaination for his numbers so far. With all the hype of these A28's, He should be quicker than me, no?
Art, The only A28 performance info i have is Vince did some qtr mile and 60-130 on his tiptronic car. His Trap was 130mph and best 60-130 so far is high 7 sec range.
His car made 535 awhp mustang dyno at 1.4 bar with meth injection. Now a 6 speed car is making significantly more power and tq.

There isnt much of a driver error in a tiptronic car...just baffles me. I know his car is running super strong...maybe not strong enough to beat you?..his dyno #'s are also much stronger than yours.

I will be very surprised if someone can trap higher than 132 with the new A28 turbos. I have done endless number of runs with Vince’s tiptronic car equipped with this setup, its dead even high end, mid range as low as 40 mph start…you name it. Yes he will destroy me if I started from dead stop…I cannot shift from 1 to 2nd gear as fast as a Tiptronic.
Yes with a 6 speed car you will have lesser driveline loss will be faster. Can’t wait to see some real 6 speed numbers.

Doesn't his EVOMS torque conv help with this?

Softronic writes a mean tune for sure.

I thought softronic was written by it's owner, nothing to do with Todd K??? or are you talking about modified programming?

I believe he did have some involvement with Softronic, but Scott does
alot of stuff himself I believe.

There is nothing special about tuning these cars..bosch motronic has been around for a while now. I think all tuners do good job, some with custom tuning provide more benefit than others. EPL is one of them.

so is the softronic system similar or based off of TK's tuning?

People have said that on here and other places a few times. I think this would be a good opportunity for Scott and TK to clarify if they wish?
