I have a G-Tech Pro, so that's what I use...and I also have some really flat back roads that no one drives on with maybe one house, making them perfect for 0-60mph or 60-0mph runs if ya can't go to the track....I'm hoping to see mid to low 5 sec with my ecu tune, as I did 5.9 sec with turbo back exhaust.

If you're able to get that with the G-tech do post up.. I'm anxious to see how much that intercooler and the ECU will do..
I used to have a grand prix GTP that did a quarter in 14 flat.. I had consistent 0-60 times of 5.3ish.. So I do see it possible with the right driver/tires!

I can do 0-60...sometimes. It depends on the road and the traffic

The reading is K/h no mph, it takes it almost 10 seconds to get to 100 which is about 62mph

That is slow. My MC doesn't feel that slow. Now I'm curious. The miniusa website lists a 0-60mph time of 8.5 sec.

Do this enough and you'll be replacing your poor little clutch before it's time.
