So far, I'm more than happy with the tune.
Awesome, we should try to hit the strip together I have some guys coming from North NJ/Rye, NY, Yonkers and my friend mge92 moving from DC to stamford ct in a few weeks.

We're heading to the strips in NJ as much as possible before Heatsoak weather arrives lol and we're doing a Big Spirited Cruise to Captree state park next Sunday

Hey guys im curious, when in Sport/Sport+ do you guys pump it all the way until Redline/Auto upshifts or are you guys shifting early?

It feels like to me N20 fades and should be shifted early? Very curious to know what people are doing

First 3 gears I let it go to Redline by itself, I managed to increase my trap speed by 2mph and 1/4 mile time when shifting early into 4th and 5th gear..

A dyno pull curve will tell you exactly where your car is falling flat and where you should be shifting.. Usually its 5500-5800 for N20

Ran against a Wolfsburg DSG MK7R.

First race edged him. 2nd he just edged me.

He had a passenger but thats when it really hit me that it loses power quick. I think if i try again following that hopefully i do better.

I guess a dyno really is beneficial huh haha i might take it!
