JB4 Stg 2 w/ Meth feels slower than Map 7 with 100 octane RG

As the title says I recently installed the WW BMS meth kit. Running this on map 3 with a 35 additive. I compared this to a tank full of 100 octane race gas running map 7. The boost targets are supposed to be similar but I swear the map 7 performance is better. Anyone else have similar observations?

Do u have any logs to look at. Your meth might now be running like it should. ?

there could be many contributing factors here - believe me, I have been through many, if not all.

First - Logs.... Log a Map 3, 3rd Gear 2k-7K without hitting the kickdown - SEND TO TERRY. I could look at it as well.

Second - What mixture are you running? 50/50? What Firmware & Interface? What is your scaling set to? We got additive at 35 (pretty low). If you have a 50/50 Distilled Water/Methanol ratio, then your scaling s/b @ 60 and additive at 45 for the Map 3 log.

Third - Hijack the Oil Temp cluster to check your METH FLOW. Low meth flow is a COMMON problem and there are numerous ways to FIX this. On the Oil Temp gauge, LOW meth flow will look like ur temp gauge hits 230-240 CONSTANT through power band 3600-6000K RPM. It should be around 275-280.

Answer these above questions and we will try to help.

Thanks guys. I'm running the latest firmware from 7/12 with a 35 additive and Boost Juice which is 49%/51%. When I highjack the oil gauge the methflow goes to a 100% reading reliably so I don't think its the flow. I'll have to check the scaling since it's at the default setting which I don't remember. The difference is not huge but I feel map 7 is stronger. I'll do some logs ASAP and post them up.

Get the log asap so we can look - also - send them to terry@burgertuning.com. Are you mixing your own boost juice or is it purchased already mixed?

additive 35 is very small, but before any changes we need to make sure you are dialed in correctly. Be safe logging! ;-)

I think I found the problem. THe meth scaling was set to zero by default. Set it to 60 and things feel much better. Not sure what would happen with a setting of zero but the car feels much better now. Still have to get some logs.

Make sure your in map 3 also. And raise the boost safety to 18

Thanks. Definitely on map3. Boost limit set to 17 currently. I'll try 18.
