I wasn't watching the Honda speedo. I was using the app to get actual speed. I did this test with stock tires.

Another thing I did was use the phone in the phone mount so it did not move. I set the parameters from 1 mile an hour to 40 mile an hour. That way the timer didn't start till it hits 2 mph.

I'm sure the connection with satellite will vary depending on what area you are in. That could have an effect on the GPS accuracy.

When I say I took an average of three runs, actually all three runs were identical using the timer.
All 3 of mine by hand was identical. I was good on the start every time. But I think I was slow on the stop. At least it's in the same ball park. When I raced moparornocar. He's stock tires but had a couple hundred more lbs payload than I did. He would beat me to 30 but then I would walk him like nothing. There's a lot of variables.

I should take a picture and show that this test is going up a hill. Or go down the hill with the difference is.

You are right on the amount of variables.

Do you still have to weld on the muffler?
Do you mean welding on another bung? Personally I've found trying to tune something without a wideband is hit or miss at best (unless you do have the autotune feature). You need to get a baseline tune first so you always have it to fall back on. It is very easy to get carried away in the wrong direction without one.
I may start off without the autotune and install my Innovate wideband for reference. Making test hits against another machine is a pretty accurate way to tell if you're going in the right direction too. The "seat of the pants" dyno is pretty unreliable. It always "feels" fast when you're all alone lol.

Well I don't have access or the shop joey does. So a plug and play shaving a sec off is good enough for me.

No I didn't gain two more seconds. After installing the auto tune, my time was 7.5. Obviously this auto tune system needs some calibration or set up before I can do anymore timed runs.

Autotune may not be accustomed to Hondas. Every one I've ever tuned (carb'd or FI) ran best a little on the lean side. Just a hint of color on the porcelain when doing a plug check.

Nope no silver. I dragraced for around 17yrs with most of that using nitrous. Proud to say I never roasted one. Went through a few rod bearings but that was a manufacturing problem.

No valves? With Nitrous? Now that's disappointing! Im wondering who will be the first to run nitrous on a P1K. @joeymt33 has the fuel management now maybe that's his next step.

I'm surprised nobody hasn't thrown a Sneaky Pete under one just for challenges like that one lol. If anyone is interested, I still got a couple of PowerShot solenoids and some plumbing lmao.
