The iq3 dash is calibrated and reads it as well, it can also be done via gps but no need to complicate matters as this is dead accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing major though and the tuned was trimmed a little so just was cleaner than the first few passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use the laid over traces in the log rpm/speed/target boost and the old timeslip to calculate when we want it to come in and of coarse good old seat of the pants feel and video. It's amazing what good footage can do for ya as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep at it, in years to come these things will be like Supra's are to the strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
