I agree it is in the launch and also shift early with the stock tune. Power brake up to about 2000 for a split second, off with brake and go full throttle and shift at 5500.

well clearly the ECU recorded it, so it did happen. Fortunately for all the rest of us, nobody has found a way to trick the IPC into recording a faster time, otherwise i'd be posting 1.2 second 0-60's ;)Video or it didn't happen...lol
I tell you what, for some it's a struggle. It took FOREVER to find out where that good launch is at. No shame, I bet i went through a good 10-20 runs in the mid to high 6's before I finally got it down pat. Shifting too high got me as well. My best so far is still 5.7 but it heat soaks so damn bad...I just posted a log, and with my IC starting at 88 degrees, by the time I hit 45 in my pull I was already over 100* and the pull ended at 130 degrees. Bye-bye timing lol.I got 5.6 in a heavy vert, not trying very hard (couple of runs). I have a stock IC. If you have an auto/coupe, I find it hard to imagine you can't get lower than 5.6.
It is the launch... that kills these cars.... auto anyway. Having to shift sounds like an issue for manuals.
LOL I had a 5.7 bone stock (actually think I got a 5.6 once, but forgot to save it). Your car auto or manual?
Well you are at a power disadvantage since .ca doesn't have 93. Many other variables come into play as well; temps, air density etc.I have an auto. I cant seem to get better than a 5.6-5.7 with just the tune. I am brake boosting at ~1800 rpm. Not sure how to get a better time.
That seems off. You should have no issue pulling on him stock let alone tuned.Regarding the ford tune, My buddy who has a focus st with an intake and I did some pulls and the results were very shocking. Keep in mind I do have a PP auto. Any dig or roll face from 0-40 and my car would pull. But a roll race starting at 40-50 and the cars were even, no one was pulling. I would only pull after 70-75. Sort of disappointing considering I am tuned with a tune that allegedly fixes the upper range and he has an intake only. What are everyone's thoughts?
He said focus st, not focus rs, I believe the st has 250hp. So he's not at a power disadvantage although probably weight disadvantage for sure.Well you are at a power disadvantage since .ca doesn't have 93. Many other variables come into play as well; temps, air density etc.
But 5.7 does seem high for the tune. I'm stock and I run 5.7 with a manual.
You mistook which one I referred to. I was saying he's at a power disadvantage from solodog whom is probably running 93 to get his time. 93 vs 91He said focus st, not focus rs, I believe the st has 250hp. So he's not at a power disadvantage although probably weight disadvantage for sure.
Florida...need I say more? :lol:Bullshiet. Just go downhill. Instant trick fuckery
Yes, Shell 93 currently in the car, but I can't imagine that makes much of a difference vs 91 on the FP tune.You mistook which one I referred to. I was saying he's at a power disadvantage from solodog whom is probably running 93 to get his time. 93 vs 91
Not extensively. But every bit counts. :cheers: just one many variables that could have been out of favor for him. Fuel, heat soak etc.Florida...need I say more? :lol:

Focus ST has ~600lb weight advantage. That is pretty significant, plus at a roll you don't have to worry about garbage fwd launches. Shorter gears as well. Its not that surprising, look at the EB vs 5.0 races.Not extensively. But every bit counts. :cheers: just one many variables that could have been out of favor for him. Fuel, heat soak etc.
Look at the st times. They are far worse than stock eb times. He was tuned. A 14.7 stock st should not hold a candle to a tuned eb. And again. I was talking about vs solodogs eb time and being at a disadvantage. Not the st. Lol.Focus ST has ~600lb weight advantage.
