Just got my Bel FX2

Just got my Beltronics FX2 this morning and went out to do some 0-60 runs. BTW, I have a Procede on order but my car is totally stock otherwise. Did about nine runs with my best time being 4.85. Most were in the 4.9 to 5.1 range using a variety of launching techniques. Pretty pleased considering the car is totally stock. Maybe this is obvious but I noticed if you have a steptronic and are shifting manually as you approach the redline if you continue to rev and don't shift the car will automatically shift for you. I mostly noticed this with the 2nd to 3rd shift since I didn't want to shift to third until I reached 60 mph. I didn't notice this before. Can't wait to get the Procede to see if I can get to the 4.5 mark. Also have to try some 1/4 mile runs as well.

You'll be getting this or better with PROcede. :rocks:

I used the manual mode for the AT and started in M1. Before launching I got the RPMs up to maybe 1000-1100 and then released the brake and shifted into 2nd around 6000 rpm. I am going to try a bunch of different techniques to see if I can improve on this time.

Make sure you hit the DTC button once (without holding it down) to actually turn DTC on...this will give you a little better launch traction for when you have the PROcede.

Best time i've hit with my GT1 is a 4.51, still trying for that elusive 4.4 realm. I know it can be done, especially now that I removed my CDV. I should of done it this morning, it was a cool crisp 60 degrees where I live. The 4.51 I ran was at about 85 degrees. Damm it.
