within a 10th for those wondering about 1/4 mile accuracy.
A 10th of a second is like a car length at the end of the strip. I've always questioned the accuracy of these things, and your numbers are obviously not definitive, but my gut says the timing system is more accurate. It's lasers and wiring; shouldn't be much to calibrate.
What were the conditions for your PB pre-tune/pulley run? Favorable? Will need to give your approach a shot next time I’m out, then follow up with mine to compare apples-to-apples. I find auto shift wastes time kicking you down into 1st after launch only to then put you back into 2nd - or do you shift manually?

Conditions were probably favorable; my strip is over an hour and a half away so I don't bother in poor conditions. I always shift manually, this also avoids shifting to 5th prior to crossing the line.
Had a chance to do three quick runs with the Dragy. Best 0-60 was 4.35 sec. Best 1/8 mile was 8.38 sec @89.35 mph. Straight flat roads with no traffic convieniently available for the limited amount of time I had to play only allowed for 1/8 mile runs. Having major wheel spin at launch even though I am using launch control (don't know if I'm using it right though) . Will try again over the weekend to improve my launches/times.
BTW the Dragy seems pretty easy to use but the software could be a tad more intuitive. Was worth $140 for the giggles.
Observations- Dragy device small and easy to use. Android app - Works, but pretty sucky coding and battery management! If I leave it on for any time at all, my phone is completely dead. All other days when not using Dragy the phone lasts all day and still has ~50% at end of day.
Only had a chance to get it out once to try times. By the time I found a spot to give it a try, car was pretty hot. Not too bad though on crappy Pirelli's I am trying to wear out quickly to replace Had about 3 quick runs, and got ~ 3.9 0-60 as best. I do think it downshifts from a start when you just floor it, so when I get time...going to try shifting and starting in 1st!
Still feel it was a good purchase, and hope/assume the developers do some work on the software!

How do you post the screen shot off your phone? Do you export it somehow?

Hi...Yes. I am not an iPhone or Apple person AT ALL....So I only know Android and PC If you have an Android (and I am sure a similar ability with iPhones)....You press the power button and the volume down button at the same time while this is displayed and it will do a screen capture of what is displaying at the time. You can then send via Bluetooth or email or just attach it to a post right from your phone. Hope that helps...

Thanks for the reply. About 1 minute before you replied my SHMBO told me how to do it. Only problem is I have an iPhone SE and the screen is so small it can't display the whole time slip for the screen shot - only the top or bottom half.
