EcoBrick Bob Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hey Crash! When I asked for your dyno sheets, I didn't realize you weren't at LMS when it was done, and that you didn't have them in hand.... Sorry... (Age related issue... LOL) Glad you finally have it back. Ain't METH (that's Methanol for you Govt. spys) FUN!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 No worries bob, I forgot to ask for them when I picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Glad you have your car back Chris... Amazing right? I wanted to go to the track next week, supposed to be around 70F... But my front brakes are so noisy, even when I drive, so I guess I'll have to buy new brakes before I can go and try that new tune at the track... : ( I had not plan to upgrade brake kit this year. Don't know what I'll do, maybe just OEM pad until next year... Even my summer tires only two months old) start to be less effective... $$$ ouch!

Scrming Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Got my car back at last. So far I am very impressed with the new tune. This thing hauls ass! Them boys at LMS never cease to amaze. Very very COOL!!! But.... now you got me thinking about springing for Stage 5!!!! ARGH!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 My guess is that your Flex would break the 12.6's with stage 5 no doubt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And today it is very muggy out, I can only imagine what it will be like on a nicer day. But traction is going to be a issue now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider replacing stock pads with Stop Tech or EBC Red. Likely can just turn rotors. You will be amazed with the better stopping. Lots less money than new full kit.

steve142857 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Woo hoo!!! I was, if my memory is good, my dyno results when I went to Livernois two months ago with stage 4+ meth file was 378hp and 387lbs... I wonder what my car would pull now with stage 5. Cool Chris! Impressive how LMS never stops to amaze us! Good work guys! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Cool steve my initial dyno test probably would have been a little higher but my meth adjustment where way out of whack and plus I had some other meth related issues. But its working like a charm now, need to get another can methanol 3rd one down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Nice! This is 11 second stuff for sure... Your high rpm HP really jumped up after about 4.5. This is where I feel like our cars start to fall short.. I beat lots of guys off the line, and to the 60' but they run me down on the high end. Need some track #s from one of you guys!

Crash712us Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Before the meth install, yes paul I agree car pulled strong 1st & 2nd but 3rd not so much. My best 60' is 1.8 and my best 1/4 is a 12.9 and this was before the meth install, I wished I had tracked prior to my dyno tune so I have a comparison. But I will have to use others times to compare with my new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 So the question begs to be asked, & I hope Rick from LMS himself chimes in on this question.... This new tune file, dedicated completely to meth users, is this, in an official capacity, now being termed "stage 5" ?? :noidea: Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Oups, my fault. I figured we were due for a new stage... Afetr stage 4, stage 4+, a stage 5 made more sense than a stage 4++, no? lol As for track numbers... I will have my brakes done tomorrow or Saturday at most and will try to hit the track soon, even if temps are still higher than normal for this time of the year... Should see some numbers very close to 12 sec... which will be an indicator that the 11's are very very close... : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First-SHO Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I had planned on waiting until I got my car back with print out of the graph. But from the snap shot Rick took of the computer screen it looked like my numbers where 403hp & 417tq and reached max torque at about 3500 rpm's[ATTACH]962[/ATTACH] I believe there will be a little more in the numbers that can be reached, had a small glitch with my meth system. Heres one of mine to compare. MORE POWER EVER LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think LMS is calling it stage 5. And yes it Steve's fault for labeling as such, but I'm good with it being label as such. Seeing there is such a distinction between the power of the 4+ meth tune and this new tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Is to soon to add MOST POWER EVER to my signature? True! then after someone bumps me out I can say 2nd MOST POWER EVER ! Hhhmmmmm........ hold on just one stink'n minute here...... Analyzing the two dyno graphs above...... It would appear to me that it is actually 1stSHO (Mike) that holds the dubious title of "MOST POWER EVER ". I guess Chris already has to relinquish that title :noidea: I LOVE stir'n the pot :boink: and on that note........ :bolt: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 LOL! Mike, I knew I would be eating them words. Stir away:hungry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Especially that 1stSHO Mike has a light tuning because LMS didn't want to go too aggressive with tuning the first turbos upgrade... But, for the moment, I believe my car probably has the most. Chris' exhaust is a bit more restrictive than mine I believe, so I would think that my car has closer to 410hp... But that is just my guess based on Chris's dyno numbers. But, the two cars with most potential now are 1stSHO Mike and BPD Mike... Still looking forward to hear about your car's improvements Mike with those recent mods... Are they finished? Are you driving your car or is it in a garage having the downpipes installed? BTW, I love stiring the pot too ; ) On that note, I'll leave too lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you driving your car or is it in a garage having the downpipes installed? Funny you should ask about my three recent mods, one of which still has yet to be revealed..... I literally just got a call today from the one shop finishing up the secret, 3rd mod, and it will be ready for pick up tomorrow (Fri. Sept 7th). There was a delay on their end as they were having difficulty locating a source to find material(s) that matched OEM stuff. I'll reveal soon, along with pics in another thread. Also, I had my mechanic friend weld in that 2nd EGT Sensor bung, and while he was at it, I had him do a "once over" on all of the welds for those catless down pipes. Those were finished up yesterday. I am, as of this posting, aiming for a complete install of my Catless Pipes, the Aux Oil Cooler, and my 3rd, secret squirrely mod for next Tues & Wed (Sept 11th/12th). So I'll require an adjusted tune file myself, as I fully anticipate losing some degree of boost, and I've already been in communique with the boys over at LMS regarding that. I am hoping to get an adjusted tune file that I can run at least in the interim, and then schedule some dyno time in October, during the week where LMS has their 2nd Customer Appreciation Day for 2012. Good times ahead, and suffice it to say, I expect both 1stSHO, crash712us, Darrell, you, and me, to all be in the 11's by year's end. Cheers to all for the accomplishments obtained thus far :cheer2: Exciting times for the EcoBoost platform for sure :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoBrick Bob Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 MIKE..E... It is time... You need to go back and tune... and DYNO... the BEAST!!!! Show these puppies what real HP & TORQUE is!!!! I think those catless down pipes will make more difference than bigger turbos.. but having both would be even better! NOTE: IT IS MY ROLE IN LIFE TO STIR THE POT... Please forgive me guys..... You are all faster than my Flex. But.. I think my modded G8 is more of a fair match!
