Man I wanted to go today! They are having some bracket racing type of thing going on though instead of test and tune. Possibly going Wednesday night though.

Ran an 11.8 but the car is bleeding boost the whole track.I only trapped 92 in the 1/8 and 118 in the 1/4

I dont know wut the cars problem is,its kicking in traction control once im on boost.Here is a video of 3rd gear on the highway and its dry and 75 out.

Yeah, that traction issue shouldnt be happening. Try running in dyno mode and see if that helps

edit: meaning, the traction control kicking on when you probably dont need it to

I took it to the dealer to change the tranny fluid and I told them not to touch the ecu.That is the only thing that I think could be the problem.

after trying dyno mode the car threw an incorrect gear ratio code WTF.

Im running 245/40/18 in the fronts and 275/35/18 in the rears

The over all diameter of the tires are 25.7 for the fronts and 25.6 for the rears.

That is really close to what a stock e55 uses for fronts and rears

Didnt you recently just change or take off your surge tanks? If you have a bad gasket or a improper seal you could be losing boost there???

Hey man PM Sneakyneon and ask him to get you a boost checker. I can tell you from my personal experience it's super helpful. Better safe than sorry!
