996tt EPL flash, straight pipes 1/4 mile 11.85@120mph





Track is Milan Dragway in Michigan. Temps were around 55 and traction was ok. Didn't know that the tune came with Launch Control and flat foot shifting, so last pass got under 12 Was happy

Thanks brother, I will be coming to you in the future if I decide to upgrade power but I am happy where I am at right now given my use of the car. You do awesome work and very professional and prompt. Appreciate it.

Btw, way to tell me that I have Launch Control............I found out when my tach wouldn't go past 4k rpm, any way to increase the LC to 5500rpm? My buddy who tunes subarus/vettes told me that I would probably able to launch out of the hole faster, but it wouldn't be as safe. Any input? Thanks

Flat foot shifting is when you don't lift throttle while changing gears fast. Just clutch in and boom. done. Was able to do it with the EPL flash and def showed massive improvement in shift times. Without the proper flash I believe you will just hit redline when you clutch in and slow down cause of hitting redline.

Yes sir, launching this car is tricky on street tires at this strip esp, it's prepped for MT drag radials so very very sticky. Clutch out too fast and you will wheel hop which is dangerous and clutch out too slow and you will bog. Had to do it just right, and I think with even more practice, this is a mid 11 second car. With just a flash and straight pipes

What? I asked them and they said it was not an option? I knew it would make a huge improvement. I bet i can run a very LOW 11 in the 1/4 if it works on my car. That was even with the stock intercoolers, could be high 10 now. I'll try it out and see.

It might not be enabled via flash, I'm assuming it is. Tony might be able to elaborate. I just give all credit to the flash Might just need to do quicker shifting. Try it out, it can't hurt

I know what it is, I just want to know how the tune helps with doing it. Anyone can "power shift". But I would like to know how this is different and protects the clutch and gearbox from the abuse. I can avoid the rev limiter on my own. This is more of a question for EPL.

Yes sir I just feel like there's a 11.5 second pass left with this setup, with a good launch. 1.8 60ft isn't great for an awd car. a 1.6 60ft would equal 4/10ths off at the end. I guess I will find out next spring

By the way it should be noted that this strip traps low, not sure why. c6z carbon edition traps 120mph here when it's a 126mph car elsewhere.
