0.83 is my max so far

I'm not sure how accurate the thing is, or what I should do to try and see the max I can get?

this is with every day driving, always in D never in tap shift

Yeah I would bet that people are dropping gears and wailing on it to get their numbers. I have a feeling that traction is going to soft-cap this value. The difference between you and them is probably that you're probably staying at that value for longer amount of times whereas the other guys are probably only feeling it momentarily right at downshift-->WOT. If that makes sense at all.

wow, that's creepy, just saw your reply now and....

We made a few tweaks to the tune, namely with the spark and then......

I SWEAR to god this was from a 10mph roll and shut it down at 30mph

My .84 accel was also from about 10mph roll after the 1.16 decel from almost hitting Some dip sh*t that pulled off a side road in front of me. Need more curves to get the lateral up there. I don't know how accurate they are either but it adds another level of fun to the driving. I hope to never get close to that decel again though. Nice accel number Jay.

Nice job, Jay. My Accel number was from launch. I was trying different launch techniques.
