Anyone play with the timed runs on the v3 yet? I'm going to log a few runs today to see what I get with my mild mods. If nothing else, it should be consistent. I have no experience with this yet, and I'm curious if others here have found it useful. So far, I just keep a single big gauge up for boost pressure while driving. The options are awesome, but I can only see using the other detail while parked and troubleshooting or dinking around!

...okay either I'm doing something wrong, or this feature isn't fully developed yet. I figured it would use a mix of known metrics from the OBD II system and incorporate features like one of the iPhone apps (with multi-axis gyro use for motion detection and such) and interpolate the rest.

I did a few 0-60 runs and only managed to log wildly different 60' times (1.7 to 2.5"). No actual timed run data was recorded.

The 1/4 mile feature didn't do much more.

Anyone know if this is something under development?

Also, this isn't a very rewarding way to drive the car! I have 100s of passes in my old FWD drag car (Carlsbad, Pomona, and Palmdale mostly) and it brought back memories of bad drag launches! This is definitely not where the fun is. Anyhow, I can't wait to get those stickier DZ2s on!

Hi Ian, thank you for the speedy response. This really isn't a big deal; I'm just dinking around. If this works, it would be fun to use this on occasion. The map itself is great, another fine Cobb product!

Brilliant idea but does the rear even have speed sensors?

I wondered the same thing, then recalled that many systems do -- when the primary drive wheels rotate faster than than the non-driven wheels, you have an interesting condition for the traction computer (intervene or not). That coupled with the y-axis rotation sensor is the stuff of a stability computer.

Maybe there's a cheaper, no-sensor way, but I'd think there's a good chance we have them out back. Given our car's reliance on electro-wizardry instead of mechanical bits...

Also all modern ABS systems are four channel setups. I hope this is the easy tweak we need.

The speed sensors are needed on all four wheels for the ABS & stability control.

It sounds like a few members have weighed-in authoritatively. It's great that we have sensors on all four wheels -- it's certainly the best way, but not required. Until recently, many manufacturers cheaped out and used either a 2 or 3 channel setup (just the drive wheels, or only examined a pair in addition). While ABS and stability control have overlapping features, they don't have the same requirements.

This is something we've been looking into and we just had a chance to go back through the code and make some changes. With your feedback we dug through the ECU code to find individual wheel speed sensors, and the averages for the front and rear wheels. We have changed the 0-60 and 1/4mi tasks to use the average rear wheel speed instead of the overall vehicle average speed. This should cut down on the early exit behavior and failed readings due to wheelspin in 1st and 2nd gears during the tests. Also, in the next major update you will now have access to monitor and log these readings for those of you that do track days or want to analyze your sessions!

This is very good news, thank you! This is why we buy your products.

Oh right, when is this new release available?
