It won't hurt anything I don't drive it that ******* a daily basis should be fine but I'll say that it is got some snap!

Little off subject but can you data log or at least check everything without a tune or do you need a scanner. Is there any software out there that just let's you see what's going on???

I'm running the race tune. This tune really likes high quality fuel/octane. When I first started running the race tune I noticed my KR would get into mid +2 range on 1/4 mile pulls without the added octane from a slight mix of E/85. With it, I rarely see any KR over (+.8 ) on a clean run... I think it's just letting the tune work to its full potential rather than actually "demanding" more.

Almost a year running race tune now (have not run any other tune since getting it), and almost 2 years straight running an E/85 mix (only a few tanks without it).

Hi SHOnUup do you have any extra monitoring devices on you car to watch parameters? Im wanting to get the race tune but wanted to talk to you before hand and find out what all I need. Thanks

I use a scantool that displays gauges via the Torque Pro app onto a tablet I have mounted.

I'm just over a year into running the race tune now. It's been on multiple long trips through many states with zero issues.

Same tune I run at the track for a best of 12.05 now, also gets 27 mpgs at 80 mph on the freeway.

If you're tuned, regardless of having "race" tune...I'd be monitoring.

Race tune is the same one all of the Livernois customers get with my strategy code.

I'm using the OBDLINK MX Bluetooth scantool...should be able to find for $79 now compared to the $99 it was 2 years ago. I feel it is the best one for smooth delivery of data, but I'm losing faith on its quality. I'm on my 2nd one and it has begun to act up and not work all the time.

It's taken a LOT of track time and tinkering with setups to get the times so far.

Keep track of temp, tire pressures, and launch rpms to find out your best configuration for achieving your goals.

LMS re-wrote the 4+X race tune for my strategy to match what yours is... I complained that the race tune I received was a bit slow.. afterwards based on initial logging it took a .2 seconds consistently off my 0-60 times... Although I get NO knock so I don't run ethanol...I get full advance on the 93 we have out here..

Might be sneaking out to the dragway tonight...we'll see. Leaving for Ohio tomorrow for a weekend birthday trip for our TEENAGER (yowza, times a flying) and a couple of his buddies. If I can complete my massive to do list that is...

Best but has the Samsung tab A 9.6 inch screen for 179.00 this week. Soche mount actually sticks by radio, and there is enough there. I it blocks controls but you can us touch screen control's instead C29fde1d4f60bc9f0e4ae808d3b87044
