Pretty much no luck. Ran several times, it was about 73 when I started and 78 when I left. Ran a couple of runs with the Carlos map and a couple of runs with the regular Stage 3 ByDesign map. Here are the Vbox for the second of each one which were the best.

Pretty much dog slow. I spun the tires really good before each run. I backed up, put it in sport only never had TC on and brake boosted to spin the tires before each run. Tire pressure was 32 on the fronts and 36 on the rears and pretty much stayed that way. I had Valero 93 today which isn't as good as the VPower so that might matter. I could plot the AP log but I know what it's going to show, same old same old flat spots not shifting when it should out of first gear. Getting stuck after LC is done and not getting to 7000 and shifting into second. That consistently takes about .4s or more from my ET. I wish some other people that have AP would post the graphs I do so I could see how their cars shift.

Beautiful clear day so the drive out and back was nice with the windows down, sunroof open and Burmester blaring. Couldn't hardlyhear the exhaust.

Car is going to the shop today and I won't see it for a couple of weeks. Hope to be putting a Ferrari in the garage in the meantime. We are busy with the paperwork for closing one of the sections so I am just in make sure we close mode before making a decision about which car to buy.

 

I wouldn't expect the best results on something other than a dragstrip. My car too short shifts like that.

 

Well, this road is where I have gotten my best ET. The best at a dragstrip is still 10.63 while on this road I have achieved 10.56. It's not short shifting, it's just not shifting but the back end is slipping big time too. The car is a monster and it's just going to be worse with the turbo upgrade. Should do 145+ on the grandstand stretch at COTA.

Anyway, I am off to ATXAutosport.

 

I really bet you're experiencing traction issues...these clips show what I went through after getting to stage IV...even with Toyo R888 ON THE STREET the car manifested odd shifting traits from launch...each time different..sometime bouncing off rev limited...sometimes short shifting...note in these videos I never lifted..what you see is how the car reacted..until I got it to the strip...with the additional traction/prep it shifted perfectly !!

Try race tires and a better track..you may be amazed...on the street even with traction control off the car still has some degree of torque control..

 

From the video it's hard to tell if you are slip sliding or not but mine is, big time. I don't look at the rev counter, I simply pay attention to the speed because I know I need to hit the brake at 140 but now the car gets to a higher speed in shorter distance so I can let it run up faster. Anyway, I can see that funky action from 6-7k where it doesn't shift right away like it should in the AP logs. I will post them annotated again on this thread.

 

You're certainly experiencing limited traction...I would address that I'd be you'll see mid to low 10's

 

Make what you will of them. Not a lot of difference in performance as I can see. The second run is better in both and they are both about the same for the first run and then the same amount better the second run. Lot's of time wasted in that transition from LC to first gear and then a short shift to second gear. It's definitely traction that I can feel but I have had better runs on the same road by about .2-3s with higher trap speeds.

Really I have to conclude neither map is much different than the other in terms of overall performance. Initial IAT is about 10 degrees higher on the second map but that is to be expected but all final IAT are around 150F.

I didin't use the ice trick which could have helped. Still, this is a long way from getting below 10.5. These are N0 PZeros with a couple of track events on them but less than 4000 miles. I am probably replacing them with N1s while I get the turbos rebuilt.

 

Just a note...I ran 10.7 at the track on stage III/street/100 and went to 10.1 on stage IV

 

Stage IV being the Turbo upgrade? That is where I am headed right now. I am sure the added boost will really help after first gear.

 

Correct..my stage IV consisted of Sam's turbo upgrade..better fuel (VP MS109)..new map of course and tires...and run at the track

 

Listen to shifts if you can discern...solid

 

The first shift sounded quick. Did you log it? Would love to see the log.

 

Yes it is shifting very fast/early...fyi there may be some pdk programming coming soon ..no logs

 

"traction map" FTW
Getting it even better and yes something else is coming out soon!

 

My car does the same thing on GIAC Stage 2+. You can see it in this video:
