Terry gave out a firmware upgrade few days ago. Pretty consistent results now in map 7. I am sure I can hit much lower when I fiddle my own map. But overall the car has gotten much more stronger since the update. Pretty sure I can improve my previous time with this. Will be pretty sweet to finally get into 11.4s by spending just 800 canadian dollars (500USD haha). Trap might suffer a bit, car has much better low end now.
PS: The time at the bottom are my stock times without JB4. I should also add that my car is pretty lowered (H&R sport springs is giving different heights to different people). So I have some excessive camber issues, (around -3.5), which really does not help with grip. Also my car is running on 19"s, which some of tuner's best times are not set on (usually super light 18s).
Hmm lets see. I am getting my Eurocharge dyno tune on the 12th and if time and weather permits ill be going to the track the same day! I want to beat your 11.4

This is the achilles heel of the C43 for me, first gear boost cut is ridiculous. It feels like all the boost is being diverted on a hard launch from a stop. Then the car makes up for it once second gear is achieved and I doubt this is turbo lag as I can feel the boost build and snails spooling up- just not getting to the intake somehow. Wish they left off all of the electronic safe guards crap and traction control. I bet this thing would launch like a bear on fire.
I never got tire spin off of a start from stop launch and I dont brake boost because I feel it bad for the tranny if done too many times. But natural tire spin of the line on this car would greatly enhance 0-60, my point is I dont think its turbo lag holding it back, its all of the silly traction control and other things holding it back, besides MB does not want this car to be faster than the C63, so I bet they dial it down in first gear. Why buy a 63 if the 43 is faster, duh
And somebody should post a vid on how to remove the MB wire harness clips for the piggy install.

I would imagine this is intentional as they can't have this car be faster than c63?
