That's what I've always understood. Every .10 in the 60' is worth .20 on the top end.

Wow Thank you very much for all your help everyone!
I really appreciate all the feedback!

So as I understand, without logging the data with HP Tuners, not much we can say about the tune and if there is anything left on the table... Since I don't have one, I guess I will keep it at that for now...

Warmest regards,

Why not get the HPTuner? There's so much you can do with it.

The TCU must be sent to HP Tuners and unlocked in order to tune the trans.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I had to with mine at least.

Yes, 2017-up need to be unlocked via HP tuners. To get full control (I use that term loosely) of the throttle body AND see commanded spark advance, you will need to tune the tcu. Whether or not you send it in to HP depends on who is unlocking it for you.

Your quarter mile numbers are right on par. Car seems to be a 11.20 at best which we all know is fast for your particular bolt ons. Getting more from the dump does not mean it's going to be any faster. Just a look at the Fast List and a comparison of you haven't already done so.

Is car spinning off the line? Why not stall it harder?

Ehh I don't know... I just don't feel like going through the hassle of getting HP Tuners for the sake of seeing if the car is all squeezed out at the moment. Especially since it is not my end point with the mods I have planned for it, which is to boost it, then everything might be different all around as far as the feel and results of the car's performance.

I always launched it from about 1.5k rpm (almost idle) and Traction control was always cutting me in 1st gear... Then 1 time I tried with Traction control off and it indeed spun 1st gear and up-shifted early (with same 1.5k rpm launch).
