60 foots havn't changed a scratch.SLA said:Thats not a big difference and still doesn't justify the cost. With practice you can shave .6 sec off your 1/4 time just by getting better 60ft times. Cams and retune for another .2?? How do you know you weren't just driving better that day. Oh well whatever floats your boat.
In my cars current format, I can go and put 10 passes down on 10 separate days and be within a few tenths each time. If i back to back multiple passes on the same day, I can run nearly identical passes after a few shake down runs - its all about consistency and practice. My time reductions are based on an average of a few runs. We're not talking about 1 off/awesome launch passes here.
I consistantly pull 2.250 60s.
I've had the argument a number of times on the NA forums now, and vindicated each time.
An aftermarket ECU will, WITHOUT A DOUBT yield a huge result on a stock FSDE. You only have to look at what the stock ECU/stock motor is doing from an air fuel point of view to see that...to say nothing about timing. And then the ability to squeeze every last OUNCE of power out of each mod you put on the car from then on....to say nothing about doing your engine a favour by getting the AFRs locked off nicely, and your hip pocket by way of far better fuel economy.
Its a complete myth that an aftermarket ecu will "do nothing" if you don't have an extensively modified engine. The stock computer is "that bad". I'm not the only one who believes that it is the "biggest gain you can get from a single mod" to the stock motor.
Now, i'm not saying aftermarket ECU's are for everyone...but what i am saying, is that your statement that you need mods to "justify" an after market ems, or it will "do nothing for you" is totally false.
