I ran my car today no diference in the 1/4 no et no mph and not worth my money dont waaste your money

[OneQuickV6]

How long had it been programmed to your car when you ran? Also, were the conditions the same today as the last time you ran your car? There's alot more to an ET than just doing a new mod, and running it. Weather plays a big role, and alot of other things.

[dukedusterwrx]

well it was for about a day or so and then weather was decent kinda windy but this eclipse 5 speed gt beat me i was like WOW stock! so i dunno

[ChikNz]

lol dont tell me that I was planning on getting one!

[pvtschultz]

Dyno testing a mod that yields "small" improvements is the only way to go for accurate results. Do a before and after test the same day, or have the results corrected for the conditions.

HPP3 made me slower as well.. anyone want to buy mine? heh

This is a good point. It would be best to take the programming out and make a few passes and then install only the tuneup and make a few passes and then compare. Also, if you've changed the shift points and they're too high, you could be losing ET.

While I think HP gaines are overstated by most manufacturers, to be fair you have to try before and after in as close to identical conditions as you can. I could easy show the HPP or Jet losing a bunch of ET by running stock when it's 50 degrees out and no humidity and then running the tuneup when it's 85 and humid. It doesn't take a bunch of weather change to make your ET +/- a tenth or two.

I'll be doing that back to back testing at the end of the month when our track opens...

I want it! in about 2 weeks [img]smile.gif[/img]

[dukedusterwrx]

i will try to set stock shift point see if that helps

Drag racing has more to it than just overall power, your actual racing consistancy has a lot to do with whether or not you determine the gains from a mod or not. I assume you haveny autotapped or dyno'd your car?

[Jason McCallister]

Not to mention the other gains such as adjustable fan temps, speed limiter adjustment, etc! ;)

Duke - You weren't on the NOS were you? I'm pretty sure the HPP says not to use it with power adders. Good luck in the testing - try one thing at a time (like stock 1-2 shift and the +2) and when that gets as good as it can, move on to the next (2-3 shift). You might just get a personal best yet.

Rip's right. If you're doing the juice, you don't want to be running the the tuner part of the HPP. The programmer is advancing the curve for higher octane fuel. If your using your NOS, I'm sure you'll want to be going in the opposite direction (retarding the timing). Mixing the two can lead to some serious problems. [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img]
