At some point you gotta know you can't get gains endlessly. At some point there is simply nothing else to be had. I don't know that there is much else left at the table at this point. I have been wrong before, but I suspect if there is anything it will be so small you might not even notice the difference.

He must be working on some skunk works 'Game-Changer' type stuff. Its unfortunate the game hasn't really changed the last two times he stated it would. More of the same really, some folks like PROcede, others like JB.
But seriously the dude might have actually taken a vacation finally for all you know.. lol |

I'm very happy. The 5-29 maps feel outstanding. I am just excited to see some of the things mentioned in the past come to fruition:
1)New user software 2)Maps that use canbus variables (the major reason to upgrade from Rev i to rev ii) 3)Meth kit designed by Shiv 4)Auto Tuning I'm sure it will be worth the wait. |

last time I had a "condition base service" check it ended up showing that according to the scan I outran the brake pads limit of approximately 400.000 miles it was firmware #115, too bad Shiv told us that #117 was the "BT-friendly" one since he got us the 5/29 maps with firmware #115 and only later on he came up with #117 to avoid problems with the BT

He did two runs with the latest canbus maps. He admitted to bad launches. Best ET was 13.305 and best trap was 105.99
On the latest race gas map his best run was 12.982 and he trapped 108.6. His wife wanted to leave and he didn't have time to try out the 01/19 race gas map.

it almost sounds as if your friend was running a map too aggressive for his mods/fuel. I ran a 13.1 @ 106 in a SSTT only 6MT E92 and the clutch was acting up. It actually blew out staging for the 4th run. Shifts and engagement now feel crisper and faster so I think that same car would do a 12.8 or 12.9 at hopefully about 108?
Anyway, that PROcede needs to be set up properly and apparently the driver mod needs to be upgraded |

Well there are so many factors that affect the results. If the PROcede wasn't set up correctly by being too aggressive, he would most likely be getting inconsistent times. I don't think the slow time tells us anything about his setup other than it is slower than expected. I'm sure his DA was reaching close to the 2000ft. That alone would take a couple mphs off his trap speed.

shouldn't he be running a DCI and some catless DPs to take advantage of the race gas map...I mean adding race gas map helps a little but without accompanying mods what does he expect?

I never heard him say one thing about expectations. He's not much of a complainer and wouldn't fit in well here. If you give me your phone number I'll pass it along and you can take it up with him directly.

Update the firmware to the "pro01v03beta117.bin" version, then upload the V3.3 5-29 maps. Remember these are not doomsday maps, which won't matter to you if you have a BT Tool or are pre-29.2 DME.
