RX8Club.com - G-tech runs w/ stage 1.1 with l flash

I bought ny stage 1.1 from hard 8 10 days ago. Finally I get to have a little fun. Let me start by saying that hard 8 is a wonderful person, and it has been my pleasure to deal with him.

First impression with stage 1 is the car is much smoother. It does appear faster at higher RPM, but can not really tell. I ran few runs this weekend to see if it made a difference. Well it did.

You have to remember guys I do not want to ruin my transmission, so my starts are only with 2000 RPM launches. A quick cluch release and anot a full dump. My inital runs with K flash I avareged:
0-60 7.2
0-1/4 mi- 15.3

After flash to L
0-60 7.8
0-1/4 mi 15.4

With stage 1
I can get
0-60 below 7.0 s easily please see results attached. I actually had a run at 6.4 but i can not downlaod from G-tech it say corrupt set. Remember I launch normally, and shift normally. I bet you I can shave 1 second easily if I tried
0-1/4 mi below 15. in the runs attached I shifted to 4th before reaching 1/4 mi, and I lose precious time in the slow shift...big mistake. In the same run I did 6.4 above I also did 14.46 when I held in third. I will do some more in the next few days.

One more observation the peak horspower with stage 1 have shifted to a lower RPM (just below 8000 RPM). I may experiment with my shift points.

Again this is only was done for myself and only to compare stage 1 with the results from before. The car is capable of doing much better numbers than these.
