That looks amazing! For some reason I am not digging the sedan from the side view at all.

Not bad for a (LAP3) piggyback/catback/octaneboost.


Today the car had the same previous setup plus the LAP3, as usual removed everything I can (spare tire, head rests etc) results below,
1. 12.58 @ 111.72mph - JUN BL Catback + 93oct & Boostane - LAP3 91oct setting (7-5-5)
2. 12.48 @ 112.34mph - JUN BL Catback + 93oct & Boostane - LAP3 93oct setting (6-6-6)
3. 12.36 @ 113.53mph - JUN BL Catback + 93oct & Boostane - LAP3 93oct setting (6-6-6) - OEM panel air filter removed
4. 12.16 @ 114.58mph - JUN BL Catback + 93oct & Boostane - LAP3 93oct setting (6-6-6) - OEM panel air filter removed - 1 hour cool dow

could have also been the 1 hour cool down. never mind, cool down added another sec off that. Damn Gina!

that was good for another mph.

Looks like a good time for a DD.



Well, it could have been the air filter is a restriction, better DA as it was an hour later in the evening, or the cooler engine & engine bay helped with heat soak or higher AIT on earlier runs. Or all of the above. lol

you read it as i did earlier. air filter removed added 1 mph. 1 hour cooldown added ANOTEHR mph.

Sooooo just a tune, some minor weight crap, and basically a CAI and you ran almost 11's? Holy shit. I need this for 43K.


Correct. Not even a ECU tune. Hopefully those will be coming out soon. And that is someone else car. I'm waiting for all the mods to come out before making my choice what direction to go.

What do you mean when you say "no real tune"? They are obviously making some tuning changes to make that kind of power.

Those are pretty stout number for sure.

They are using a LAP3 which is some what similar to say JB4 in the BMW world. They obviously are using it to increase boost etc. But they have not been able to crack the ECU encryption. So there is no ECU tune on the market yet to take the car to full potential.

** On a side note JB4 are in the process of beta testing 10 Stinger GTs. So more fun to come!**
