A war involves to cars (or tunes) that are close. The G37 will get smoked...335i FTW

wow when you had the passenger in your car, the helix car started pulling hard on you right away compared to when the helix car had the passenger... where it seemed he pulled a tiny bit but not half as much

5soko · 01-21-2008, 04:53 PM

yea that is true, very interesting. heat soak or something maybe? arent these the BETA helix's?
seems like the SSTT held its own in the 2nd race and the no passenger race. not bad at all.

revah2 · 01-21-2008, 05:12 PM

yah i coundt really see well in other vids. Couldnt have been heatsoak bc that was the first taped run. Anyhow, the helix is only about 300 more right? Im not even sure how much the sstt costs

slick101 · 01-21-2008, 05:28 PM

i think up to 80 or 100 the sstt can keep up w/o loosing much ground but if we started the runs at 80 with the same distance the gap might be a bit more...

TheAcAvenger · 01-21-2008, 08:09 PM

After seeing the dyno numbers for the helix and the video with it running against a 1.47 car, I expected it to manhandle an SSTT car. Definitely surprising.

HyperM3 · 01-21-2008, 08:13 PM

First off, Scott was technically down on power since his AIT's were reducing boost.

Secondly, he had maybe 15 mins for the computer to adapt to the new upgrade? Thats barely enough time.

Regardless, Im not saying that either tune is better, but people have to stop putting sooooo much "truth" in the videos that are being posted. Theres always driver error, jumping the gun, road conditions etc.

Bigger picture people, bigger picture.

Agree with what your saying, but the vid where the Helix completely spanked the 1.47 cannot simply be 'driver error'.

The bar has been set quite high for Helix after that video, none the less the Attache is an awesome product, and I want in!

I'd take the Helix also for great power with Conisderably less problems........

Even though I'm very interested in the Helix tune myself, I don't know if you can say that it has way less problems when only a handful of people have it compared to V2, which many people have.

That's right. For some reason my AIT's were really high compared to normal. Too bad I don't have a boost gauge to see what boost I was getting. I will be meeting up with Spartan8 (Anthony) this Saturday and will see what is going on with my car. But besides the AIT temps, there are no issues or limp modes. Will report back next weekend and hopefully, do some runs with slick101 and a V2.

Looks like a box with a lot of wires coming out of it and it comes with 2 maps preinstalled. For more information, check my Attache thread.

Looked pretty close to me!

Attache sounds over-rated
