A 60-130 run removes any issues with traction off the line and is a better comparison of overall power....
Sounds great. Any racing is fine. I just got back from another 2 hour fun drive up and down PCH. Raced the following:
  • E63, very fast and I only had ½ car length at the end of third
  • Z8 BMW, very fast. The first race I had him by 1.5 car length at the end of third. Second race he started before the light turned green and shifted into second before me. He had me by 1 car length at 95MPH.
  • M4 Coup. Smoked him, no contest.
  • 997 TT, I had him by 1.5 car lengths at the end of third.
  • Jaguar XK, not a chance, smoked him.
Since I am alone in the car, videos are tuff, but I do have three.

See my LWFW clutch threads on this and rennlist...UMW code makes a lot of torque. \

IMHO.

calfrank is infamous around these parts
After months of deciding which solution to go with, I finally went with GIAC. I was strongly considering Upsolute. I couldn't trust Softronic since they are not around for too long. So my decision was based on going with a company that's been around and well recognized. Thanks to GMG, Fabryce and David (tech) for flashing my car. =)..

Can't go wrong with GIAC!!!

Softronic ECU
Has anyone on this forum have the re programmed ecu from softronic? I am seriously considering going with softronic since the ecu does not have to be removed... Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thanx

Revo does not require you to remove the ECU.
