Hey y'all!!

So this was my first and only run.
I have a race chip and RgSport midpipe.
Used launch control, stock tires.

[URBAN LEGEND]

Insane numbers for a vehicle that can also do double duty for Kroger and Home Depot duties.

Thanks for sharing. The RaceChip has several maps with it. I am not very versed in it. But for those runs is that just a stage 1 regular pump octane Im guessing?

Since it's a piggyback and not a tune don't think there is a stage 2. Pump gas 91, map 7. Is what I used . I also went back and watched the video, I let off the gas too soon… I guess I assumed I had finished the 1/4…would of had a better time if I didn't let off the gas…

Cool thanks. Dragy is definitely fun. You can travel to Mexico for a legal dragstrip at anytime.

Why do people say "travel to mexico" when we all fully know you are not in Mexico?

Come on people...

[forza1976]

OP, get some valid runs btw.

What's OP?

Besides Mexico.

OP is you NGK20. OP= Original Poster aka person who created the thread.
And he is saying you need valid runs. Because you got these times by going down a decline slope, therefore assisting in your faster times because you're traveling down a hill technically.

Which means if you did the same exact run, at the same exact time of day on a level 1/4mile stretch your times would be a bit slower.

To achieve a Valid dragy run which would compare to a race track thats not in Mexico you need to be on a level surface with a minimal negative slope. Then we will all be able to compare our dragy times Valid Vs Valid.

Has anyone with a racechip try adding a few gallons of e85?

That's weird because the road I was on goes uphill not down hill towards then end..

I get the same thing with dragy sometimes, the road is definitely slightly uphill but then I get invalid for going downhill

I would never run a time on a slope or downhill where I have the advantage… anyway I'll take some shots of where I did my time so you can see it's flat and as you reach fifth gear it slopes up..

For your peace of mind you can, but I wouldn't waste your time TBH. Dragy is fine for personal testing, but a portion of those seriously interested in 1/4 mile times don't pay much attention to these results, at least for apples-apples direct comparison purposes. They're fun to look at (and I do enjoy seeing them), and they do provide a rough idea as to what a St1, St2 etc set-up might produce at a formal strip, but not much else.

The problem is verifiable validity. Slope wanders over 1% at a sanctioned Strip, same lane, within one hour of each run as I've documented [ https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...7&postcount=46 ]. DA also isn't accurate via Dragy (note the altitude differences between runs at my GNV thread). One could argue a few hundred ft DA is irrelevant, and they'd have a point. But as there is no way to corroborate location, fellow Enthusiasts can't look up past weather to confirm. And track surfaces will be across the board as roads are vastly different across the globe. At least at a sanctioned Strip one should 'ideally' be assured of a reasonably prepped and level surface. No one has any idea what surface Dragy posters are running on, right?

So if the point is to share with a Community a relative standard value which others can use to compare their own runs, I still maintain that a sanctioned Strip is best to minimize the unknowns.

Those are solid times. But the dragy does have a decent level of precision and your 0-60 run was above a 1% decline so that is why it shows invalid. Your qtr mile time was valid from a slope perspective but it had low sat reception so accuracy isn't verifiable.

Regardless, it's quick but if you want to share in the app or compare to other dragy runs, people expect to see valid runs.

[NKGK20]

I'm going to track end of June, I still expect to hit mid 11's on a good launch..but probably not 11.3
It will be fun to compare. At the end of the day this is what it's really about right? Having fun

I do 3 gallons every other fill up with 91. It helps .
Didn't do it on this run.

Now thats movinnnnnn. Assuming thats with RaceChip as the thread states? The picture is choppy and cant read much on it besides the time.

Hard to read, but it says bootmod3.

sorry about picture quality. I can't seem to get my pictures uploaded on here clear. I attach them from my gallery but then they upload mad gay on here.....anyways yeah I'm running bm3 stage 1 tune
