Here are 0-60 and 1/8 mile times stock compared to jb4 map 2 w/BCM. Didnt have a good stretch of road for 1/4 mile and unfortunately wasnt able to log to see how everything was looking. I will try later to include logs in future runs.

Jb4 map 2 w/BCM 0-60

map 0. Stock

jb4 map 2 w/BCM 1/8

stock 1/8
Still working with Terry to smooth things out.

Nice bump over stock!

A 30mph jump in the 1/8th mile over stock?

How is everyday drivability compared to stock?

Driveability feels same for the most part. Some rough shifting intermittently but working with BMS currently for that. Ill do many more runs and post logs once i find a fkat stretch long enough for 1/4 mile. This was my first 0-60 and 1/8 mile with these times without any practice launches

Looks super solid! Not far off the pre-2019 models, if not the same (given DA and fine tuning), which should quiet down a lot of the PO’d 2019 crowd who’re mad/questioning the BCM. Definitely keep us updated.

Shouldnt be any difference at all really for daily driving as I believe the JB4 only changes things when you’re WOT. Not sure about the BCM though. I also found most recent firmware update really smoothed things out

Good start! I've got some ideas for JB4 setting tweaks to improve it further.

Sorry this is the proper dragy for 1/8 stock. I had to brake on that run i believe.

Stock 1/8.

Fast enough for leaderboard for 1/8 and 0-60

fast enough for leaderboard for 1/8 and 0-60.


BMS customer support is truly amazing. There is no other tuner out there that i know of that is so responsive and works with customers for custom settings. Terry has more up his sleeve im sure! Stay tuned!

Is the JB4 for the w205 able to run with a meth kit? I'd never want to run one on a DD but it seems there might few a few maniacs out there running them.
