I've been doing my 0-60 runs using my x-cal2 and my laptop. I've been hitting 6.6x. I borrowed a g-tech from my buddy. Was hitting 6.6x so it appears that the g-tech is working as expected and is pretty accurate. I was getting a lot of tire spin so I with little practice I was able to get some better launches.... Less tire spin... Best 0-60 ended up being 6.34!!! Not to shabby! LOL!

Ok... now I wasn't going to do a 1/4 mile run... I would hate to get a speeding ticket... but curiosity got the best of me... so I did a run, got a really good launch... ended up with 14.90 sec @ 95.6MPH...

And if everything goes as planned and the weather holds out I'll be taking the car to the track!!!

Oh... side note... I did get a picture of my T-Lok... and the stick on the drive shaft that says "SCRAP IF DROPPED" LOL! I post as soon as I get all the pictures copied... LOL

Sweet. Stupid question: how do you do a 0-60 run with an SCT-2? I have one but haven't done anything with it except load the tune.

Not a stupid question at all... LOL!

First you need a laptop. Then you download LiveLink from the SCT website. Install LiveLink and the USB->Serial drivers. You can now use the X-Cal2 as a datalogger... I log things like Engine Speed and Vehicle Speed. Start the capture up and launch. Stop the car and stop the capture. You can then save the data to a file. You simply look at the time stamp where you started moving and subtract that from the timestamp where you hit 60MPH...

Ahh, thanks! I'll have to borrow the wife's laptop and terrorize the neighborhood now! :spot:
