Missed this...Ultra did nothing for the 2.7 or 3.0 as it was tuned for 100. 105...yea, that helped with timing. Livernois auto adjusts up but there is a limit. 93 tune works wonders on 100 octane just like 100 loves 105. 87 tune on 100 will just be same as 93 on 93.

Dragy is extremely accurate for all but the 60ft times. I ran track dozens of times and the difference averages 4 to 8 over 100th of a second. So...less than a tenth off. Very accurate.

Nicely done, looking forward to 11s.

I also have a set of Michelin 4S on 2 of the 20s, maybe 100 MI on them. Weren't wide enough to handle 420/480 to all wheels (cause awd on Conti kinda crap in power allocation). 255/40/20.

Thanks for the mention! I sold my 21s with winter scorpions, what I have left is a 20" set of Continental wheels and some 245/45/20 high performance Continental DW summer tires which I set the drag racing records with. Lots of tread as always as the cars don't stick around long enough to use em up, ever.

A stock Sport would certainly not beat a tuned ST drag racing and the handling benefits of ST might be easily not enough to over come the difference in power from a tuned Sport. An interesting theory tho.

When you are going down hill that doesn't negate the DA penalty. You should run some E30 for that or 105 booster.

Went to Atco yesterday for a private (read $150 very expensive) event. Added 26 runs. Test vehicle: Continental 3.0 with Livernois E30 tune running E40.

Strange, they did it for the 10 speed, maybe I am assuming too much. Reach out and confirm with LMS? ST has a lot less power than Sport so probably that's the lack of chirping as they are hesitant to push the 8 speed hard too fast.

Ah, sometimes I forget about the 8 speed. Either way, Livernois tune eliminates that skip. Stock I believe there is a good bit of skipping.

Xtra, springs, motor mount, transmission mount, summer tires. Should cure the wheel hop. I had all except transmission mount and was still hopping a bit. My 60ft launch is still the hardest around at 1.82 on 93 octane.

Not so sure skipping 2nd is a great idea, might wanna redo the math, first is good for 20-25 and 2nd to about 50-55 hitting 3rd even at 35 would be a huge slow down.

If I didn't know any better I'd say the two of you are running neck and neck. Xtras graph shows he's spinning as 2nd gear hits pretty hard, as hard as 1st on launch. Plus the DA difference.

If it's a new iPhone it's power and volume down for screenshot, power and home button for 8 and older. No app...

Xtra, I'm glad you are testing the Dragy out. Can you post the photo of the 0 to 60 chart? Did you brake torque it just flat foot? Seems a bit slow for your level of mods.

Driving 30 mph gently will surely screw up your race times, just reload the tune once you get to track. Reaction time is just the time it took for you to get going. Perfect reaction to green would put you at 0.500 so you want to go on the last amber. Make sure traction control off and brake torque ?

You can always grab a can of race-gas and run the 100 tune at 105 octane. With a hard enough launch you will get some wheel hop.

On the bright side, if you were any faster you wouldn't have enough space to slow down and make that turn...

Compared to my stock record 1/4 mile of 14.0, your time is slower. So for a tuned vehicle it's slow. Guess you should have brake torqued ? http://www.dragtimes.com/Ford-Edge-Timeslip-29785.html

Dragy is very accurate, less than 1/10 difference VS Track on 1/4 mile. I got data from about 30 runs posted in the tune section (just a few topics down from this one) running e35, 105, e50 with e30 tune. 3 different days, many runs.

Get a used Continental, get extended warranty, then you have 400hp and a very very solid Lux sedan.

5 star tuned one as well, e50 this one.

Explorer ST just got tuned by LMS, same power numbers stock and 93 tuned as my Continental. No e30 or 100 octane as I'm the only one crazy nuff to leave car there for a month.

And hassle them we did for the Sport v3 tune, a lot. I would suggest pushing hard for e30 as it does crazy things for the Continental on par with 105 octane while costing less than 93! Compared to Sport v2, in the right cold conditions v3 on 93 ran same as v2 on 105. Then again, in serious heat I found that v3 would be significantly slower on the top end VS v2 at the track unless higher octane was used. I call that over cooked... Gotta be careful what you wish for ?

Akirby, I did the math that works for me and then shared with everyone else. Lots of options to choose from!
