Lots of boost and methanol

No I mashed the pedal I believe ha. Didn't ease in. It was pretty nice out today (like 55ish). I tried to get what liquid I could from the intercooler when I did my methanol kit. Lots of oil in there. I tried pumping but couldn't get any to come out. Zip tied shop towels to the end of my oil dip stick and got a lot out that way.
Is 64 Celsius in the cac too hot? Is that not normal?

Did another datalog run with a new tune Torrie sent me.. Really pushed it hard this time. Feel free to take a look, I attached it. Coolant hit 209, CAC hit 145 again, air intake temps rose from 65 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit.. Airaid's not sealing too well 
Might have to try and mod it to seal better.

So, if I am reading this correctly, the SHO's times are:
0-60: 5 seconds
0-100: 11 seconds
60-100: 6 seconds
Maybe we can't really go by the mph data, since there are many places where speed gaps by as much as 5 mph in 0.025 seconds! Maybe the device is crying "Uncle" when it "freeze frames" lol. How is it connected to the OBD port?
I would think though you could hit 4 second 0-60 times with a boosted launch, tried that?

Wish we could just use a laptop without the x4 as the medium. It's to slow.

I have to keep the pid's under 25 or the data is so lag loaded you might as well plug it into a potato...FoMoCoSHO said:

Yeah I've never had it fail to flash a tune... but trying to delete old tunes off the device requires me returning the car back to stock, factory resetting the x4 then loading the new tune on it. So once I reach the max tune limit on the device I have to do that process. It's.... annoying.FoMoCoSHO said:
I have come so close to smashing it... but then I remember sct is about 5 weeks out on any delivery so I calm down.. hah.
Yeah, I wasn't impressed with mine either.wasinger3000 said:
Question is what's the issue?
Pipe too small?
Not enough RAM?
Too processor intensive?
I've considered buying a crapload more RAM, and configuring a Ramdrive to run the SCT software in....
That would suck to do that and not get better results although there are other uses for a Ramdrive.

Sub par specs is definitely the issue. I don't think ram is the complete issue since you can store all the information you want in advance to processing. It does not help with the fact that it simply cannot consume the data fast enough. It most likely has a processor with laughable specs.FoMoCoSHO said:
They need to transfer the work load to the attached computer. it would keep the price down and allow for a lot more reliable data.
Yeah I didn't do a boosted launch on the datalogs. Just mashed the pedal from like a 1-2mph roll. Surprising how much longer it takes to get going without a boosted launch. Literally feels like a full second before it even gets going anywhere. Just didn't want tire spin throwing off any data he needed to see.
He said to stick with this tune for a while. Plan on hitting the dyno in May. Kind of want to hit up the mustang dyno for a before and after, but yet again really want to see numbers on a dynojet. Maybe I'll hit up both!
I just ran the x4 connected to the car obd2, and a USB cable from the X4 to my HP laptop.
Also, what's the best way to determine 0-60? Should I data log just a couple of parameters with a boosted launch? I've never had success using torque pro's 0-60. It'll always give me 6 second 0-60s.

Like FoMoCoSHO said, the track is the best way to get good timing. The other seems to be an Aeroforce gauge, so you won't be logging simultaneously, no big deal. Torque definitely is no good at it. You can check out Dynolicious, one of the few apps (Apple based) that I have ever read good things about for this purpose.
