I'm planning on rolling up to Famoso Raceway tonight for their Test N Tune event for a few more baseline runs.

Anyone interested in joining me?

Nice Eric!

Let us know how you make out.

Just to clarify, I will only be doing more baseline testing tonight on the ACG Stage 2 tune. Although I got the spare ECU back from Andy with the MHP V3 CDT tune, there proved to be some compatibility issues. He suspects they are related to the very current version of the stock map that my ECU contained, with likely more MB protection and encryptions. I'm shipping it back to him today so he can work on a solution. I gotta say, GREAT customer service from Andy and MHP thus far. Hopefully I'll be up and running with the new MHP tune in time for the next drag event.

In the meantime, I figure I might as well try to break into the 11's at 120+ in the Summer heat at Famoso with the ACG Stage 2 tune. After all, I can't make it too easy for the MHP tune to improve my results.

PetroC63

Understood. Still keep us posted.

Oh Man... sorry to hear that. We were eager to see the development of the tune. Does your current issue have anything to do with the fact that you have the ACGH tune? or is it strictly an issue with the stock factory map?

xtyper

No, before sending the ECU to MHP I had it flashed back to stock by my local MB dealer. So it's likely the latest version of the stock file that is causing the problem. I have no doubt Andy will figure it out.

Got work, good luck

How'd it go? Hopefully you got some nice runs in.

Unfortunately I got another late start, and traffic was horrible. Didn't end up arriving until about 11pm, so once again I only got a single run in. Spun a lot off the line and through the 1/8 mile, ending up with another 12.xx at 118mph.

I need Mo to hurry up and set up a private rental so I can get a multiple passes in!

C63newdude

^^ Man that sucks!!! I am sorry to hear that you could only run once. It is a lot of bad luck. I am convinced that your ACG tune will net you a solid 11 sec pass and over 120 mph, I am sure.

I am very lucky to have a racetrack 15-20 minutes away(Southwestern International Raceway) but the conditions here are really bad (3100ft and very hot). Don't lose hope, we are all tuned to your MHP progress. Good luck!

SonnyakaPig

Ah, that's too bad. Well, at least you're gaining more experience with your car. I'm sure you'll get plenty of 11-sec passes with your setup.

What was your 1/8th mile time and trap?

PetroC63

Eric,

I think your best be will be a track rental. The ECU takes every bit of
5 or 6 runs to adapt, so these nights with only 1 or 2 runs become a
waste of your time unfortunately. Regardless, 118 is a very good trap
considering the conditions.

Keep racing.
