Yes I did. I was the first stage 2 flash. Got it a few weeks before it was released. Chris at AMS took it for ride and adjusted a few things. Also turned down the boost since I still had the stock BOV so it didn't crack. Here's my old thread:https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/09...ash-today.html

IdriveRA. Did u run it in auto? The first two I did, and the last one I did it in manual. Also I ran it in snow setting the last time to put it in full lock. All were in sport. I shifted late out of first @7300 or so. If I would have hit 6-6500 I think I could have shaved a tenth off. I will be taking our other car next time so I can dump the carseat, spare tire and all the other crap I had in the car

You mean you have enough horsepower to be spinning all 4 wheels on a sticky drag strip? :P

The launch tutorial vid was good, but without explanation not great... Do you feather the throttle up to 3000 RPM and release the brake, or just mash the throttle and release the brake when you reach 3000RPM's? I ask this because I am getting a Ralliart sportback in the next week or so, and am used to using the launch control on the MR at the 1/4 mile track.
