I will change my sig just for you I am a crappy driver and proud of it. I have boost leaks and was very happy to find them. I also ran the pass on 110 octane which I am very proud of. Im proud to have a very elaborate car that apparently is incapable of running a 10. It makes me proud! At least I am knowledgable enough to know that I am the biggest reason for the car not doing it. Considering your car was tuned by a "professional" that races professionally and all that I am pretty happy that my dumb@ss can do what I did. I will be out racing again hopefully within the next two weeks once I get my tranny back again and a better clutch.

No, perhaps you missed my whole point, your pass is not impressive in the least bit. Most people on this forum know exactly what my car has in it. I dont feel the need to waste a ton of space and make myself seem even more like a moron by posting it EVERYTIME I make a post. And if I ask you what your car has done to it if you resonded with anything about your shift knob or antenna I would probably burst out laughing.

I am not a jealous person either. I did congratulate you on your run. I know many people that have run much faster. I dont get jealous of them, Im happy for them and try to learn from them. I could obviously not learn anything from you aside on how to identify a moron. That you have helped me out tremendously so I thank you.

About bashing Al, I disagree with some of his theories, statements and ideas. What he does has obviously gotten him alot of credit, money and fame (Either in-famous or famous). I believe that he is starting to learn alot about cars but in the beginning when I first knew of him he did not. Anyone that claims to be a tuner but doesnt tune thier own car doesnt make sense to me. I am sure he tunes his own car now which is great. Im happy to see him going in the right direction. He has a relatively mean attitude towards most which I am not fond of and has bashed many of the companies that have helped him tremendously which I also dont agree with. He is completely aside from the point. You, my friend, are a moron. He is very intelligent.

And if I really wanted to be jealous of people, you are not one of the people that would be on the list Good luck with your car and all the mods therein (Antenna, Shift Knob, Tires, etc...). Apparently you are much more advanced than I and are all knowing when it comes to these cars, unlike myself which doesnt understand the basic fundementals of a combustion engine moreless a forced induction motor. Please teach me your knowledge so that I may also run a high 10 with someone else tuning my car. In fact, please point me in the direction I need to go to get someone to work on my car because I obviously can't even seem to get that right.

 

All this rhetoric, but we still have yet to see a timeslip. I don't think he made the 10 sec. pass.

 

Sorry I made this thread into mainly bs but, as you have noticed, I get very aggrevated at morons. I guess when I go run a 10.969 or better I can take his special title of the WORLDS FASTEST EVO 8 WITH FLASHED ECU because technically I did have my ECU flashed back in the day to remove the fuel cut. Boy would that make him sad

 

Trinababe, ur not one for reading comprehension r u? You missed the point of this thread and now you think I'm the one who made the run. I had nothing to do with it. Didn't see it, don't know if it is true or not. Don't know the person who is claiming it. I only know that Al has a challange for $1500 to the first Dynoflashed Evo to run 10's. I acknowledge in the grand scope of 1/4 mile racing 10's are nothing to bragg about. But that is not what we are talking about here. I know that if it is true I am impressed. You can flame me all u want, flame my sig., whatever if it makes u feel better great.

 

Thank you. And judging by the posts about the original thread starter I figured he got banned or had multiple names and figured you may be one of his chronies I dont try to 'flame' anyone intentionally... i get upset and it happens And yes, your sig does make me giggle as well as many others, if thats your thing then great.

 

i wanna see a slip or a video!!! i'm with sean & trina here but i also come from a dsm/dsm link background so i know what can be done on a stock maf.... impressed with the time but from the way this guy is talking i wanna see the slip or video.

 

bah you can chuck the stock MAF out the window with this

 

The only downside to that unit is the price. Most people will still want to use some sort of a tuning device with it like the ECU Plus, DSMLink, Utec, etc... Add in the price for that unit and you might as well have gotten an AEM EMS. It does seem like a pretty good unit though. I really doubt the stock MAF will be a problem in most cases though, I would expect it to really become more of a problem around the 600+ mark.

not to bad

I got a reflash ($200) to remove the limiters and shift the timing curve. I am also going to get a MSD DIS-2 for the 2 step and the other obvious benefits as well. Going to the track tomorrow for the first time. Hopefully I will get a 11 sec pass if my clutch holds up.

 

Oh forgot to mention this controls your AFR at the moment and will have timing control by the end of the year.

 

[QUOTE=TrinaBabe]".....

Also, you listed 5 options people could use to tune thier car...utec,xede,safc-II, aem, dsmlink. You said that they have the ability to "anti-lag" "2-step" and "greater ecu control". Now honestly think about that one bud.... How many of those systems allow you to control that? 2 out of 5. At least last I checked I cant control my ECU with an AFC or use anti-lag with the Utec. So yeah... that ALMOST made a little sense.



With a piggyback, you can actually tune realtime through a wideband 02 sensor/logger for a more aggresive tune. Most serious drag racers fiddle with settings at the track often, and they run a more aggresive tune at the tracks, and this can't be done with a "custom flash."


Heres one variable that can greatly effect 1/4 times; racegas. Most record runs are done on racegas and not pump, I wonder why. (majority of guys who have gotten into the 11's with stock turbo has not been done with only flashes; wonder why)

The afc does provide greater ecu control over a flash because the USER on demand can change the airflow signal the ecu reads and manipulate the car to run richer or leaner.

Your correct not all systems will be able to antilag (aem), 2-step but it does provide the USER with much great ecu control than can be easily changed when compared to a custom flash. I'm also not going to talk about the greater hassles with constantly getting reflashed but having great ecu control (even as simple as changing the airflow signal) does lead to better 1/4 times.

Hopefully that made MORE sense, if not then nobody can help you.

 

Im sure that all of those things work great, but by the time your done, you would have spent nearly as much, if not more than you would have on an ems, and the ems hands down, will be better, offer more, and be easier to operate all from one system.

 

Good post.

 

tell me how I am going to spend more than going with an AEM? It depends on the application. If I am going with GT35r and tring to hit 10's and 9's of course a standalone would probally be cheaper in the long run. Now my goal is just 11's and have a good daily driver. Don't see how an AEM will be cheaper. Post some numbers and prove me wrong.

 

BTW this post started off because of a flashed evo breaking into the 10's. I posted the MAFTpro option because most people with a flash usually run a SAFC for the AFR control when using race gas etc.. For a few dollars more over a SAFC a flashed EVO gains:

Much better control of AFR and even an AFR tracking option that will let you set a desired AFR. Fuel trims are also set by the MAP sensor insted of the TPS. Try running a alky kit with a SAFC reliably using TPS.

Aux input that will change to different fuel trims on the fly. For example changing to another fuel trim when a alky pump turns on. Combine this with AFR tracking and you can set you desired AFR at 12.5 when the alky pump is running. This will even work to prevent the car going past 12.5 if you have a problem with the pump.

The MAFTpro can control a BCS allowing you to change boost on the fly. Once setup you can change to your desired boost level within seconds. You can also use the Aux input to change to 25psi when alky pump turns on for example.

You can adjust the tip-in adjustment making a high duration cam car run like stock.

Future options include control over timing which is already availible in other cars.
