I get alot of practice on my dyno. Whenever I get bored, I strapped my car on the dyno and made 1/4 run. Japtrix has the exact same dyno I have so I'm familar how everything works. The accuracy on the 1/4 mile simulation is suppose to be within .05s from real life. I bogged a little because I wasn't expecting the tires to hook this well, other than that, the mph and ET should be close to real life (at least the 1/8)

simon i think you should have steve make a pass in your car to see what time it can get in the quarter.

yes I am very fortunate and grateful I got to drive home as opposed to being towed home with a towel and a Kia SUV.

Yeah, but that right there looks like a mechanical failure and not a tuning issue don't you guys think?

Yeah but a turbo wheel fin failure like in that pic? other than overworking that turbo, dont know what else would cause that? Something physically hitting it causing that disaster?
