P-Gear P610S used for timing. 1ft rollout enabled as I understand Draggy has this set by default.
Great conditions, 80°F and low humidity
2021 Explorer ST
1/2 tank of 93 gas (Marathon)
Factory 21" wheels and tires
Nothing removed for weight reduction
pretty crappy road, although the ST did hook up nicely!
Mods:
Whipple IC
K&N drop in filter
Livernois Stage 4 tune
Times:
On stock tune w/ DA of 3856 ran a 5.08s with Whipple and K&N (last week, same stretch of road)
Today w/ DA of 2283 and on Stage 4 tune ran a 4.17s. I flashed the LMS Stg4 tune and drove a few days for the transmission to settle in. Shifting on this run in Sport mode was VERY smooth. Not bad for a 3 row SUV.
Same launch technique on both at ~2500 RPM. I'll try to get 1/8 and 1/4 miles sometime.
I am very happy with the performance of the LMS in sport mode, but in normal mode the shifting still feels a bit rough. Maybe a bit more driving in normal mode will help. I have a ~300 mile trip tomorrow, hopefully that will smooth it out a little. Communication with LMS has been amazing. My only issue is the datalogging, or lack thereof. It does log various parameters, but diving into the values is nearly impossible. I am planning on upgrading the turbos eventually, and datalogging will be paramount. This said I ordered the new HP Tuners MPVI2+ yesterday and will be requesting a tune from ZFG. Sport mode with the LMS is amazing, but I have nothing but the stock tune to compare it to. Please let's not turn this into a pissing match of "my tuner is better than your tuner". Constructive feedback only please.
