US 131 Dragway 6/13/14 trying out LMS 4x with 3 bar

[donky4444]

I guess Friday the 13th and a full moon weren't bad luck for me. Last time out my best was 13.23 and now with the 3 bar and 4x tune I ran a 12.7594 @ 107.26. Almost half a second faster than the 2 bar 4+ tune!  If you haven't ordered your 3 bar and 4x tune you need to get on it!

Don.......and now solidly in the "12 second"club to boot! Again congrats....

I have decided that, next to tuning, the $62 and 2 min invested in the 3BAR install are the biggest bang for the buck by a long shot. Adding DPs will move your power curve 500-700 rpm sooner due to earlier turbo spooling and cut the low end time even more... but your performance was Stellar!

If you look at some dynos you'll see that Dan has gotten more torque and WHP from the EB 3.5 without adding boost or losing mpg.... and as many have stated I hear and sense the engine running better on the 3BAR tune. It's amazing! .... I echo your recommendation.  If your tuned, run... do not walk... to get yourself a 3BAR MAP and tune mod for it.

Nice time!! I have a question about the new tune from LMS. Other than the addition of the 3 bar, what else is so different from the 4+ tune that makes these so much quicker? I love to see a SHO run like that!

 

[donky4444]

Not sure how much changed within the tune to be sure. I know they built it with Dave's SHO on the dyno and made it available to everybody. I can say it pulls much more on the top end and the shifts are much firmer and quick.

That's pretty nice! I haven't had a chance to run my car after installing my 3 bar so I'm eager to try it out and hopefully get results close to yours!

Nice times!!  Arrgh I'm still waiting on my tune...have the 3 bar. So painful.

Ya done good tonight Don. While they are very close your `11 is definitely faster now than my PP `13. That 3-bar did wonders, especially on the 1st 1/8th mile. Kudo`s to you and that car!

Very nice!  Post your time slip, Don, love to see it :thumb:

Great improvement!  Congratulations, Don!  I don't have a strip nearby but I did just install the 4X/3bar and my butt dyno tells me that my car is much quicker.  As icing on the cake, it idles smoother and just performs in a more refined  manner as a daily driver, too!

I don't know of a tuner that shares exactly what they do but this tune does not just rely on high boost levels.  It really builds boost at a low RPM and sustains it all the way to shift point without wild spikes.  My MKS feels like someone strapped the engine from a 747 to the roof!  It even sort of sounds like it!
