Yup another 0-60 thread. Finally was able to do it in some cooler weather, 70 degrees outside, i believe IAT's were at 90 right before i did it. O and i did it on flat ground instead of up hill LOL. Had it in normal mode and just punched it. Last one i posted i believe it was 4.4 or something like that. 4.28!

Great time. Please show us your Dashhawk HP config settings (which determine the accuracy of these runs). Here's mine for comparison:

Thanks.
Charlie.. starting to slack man! LOL No worries though, im sure you be back to making NA records in no time.
I'm going to try and work on my launch. i had a pretty good amount of wheel spin which surprised me considering i dont have a converter yet. I'm sure i could knock that down to 4.2 exactly

I looked at the bottom and it says he is using version 2.5. The one on the disc came with version 2.0

If you go to the DH website, you can download the new 2.51 software.
Can you post the graph of the run?

Its set on the settings tab. i got the numbers to use from a thread on the other forum where someone had researched it in preparation to run the Texas Mile.

does the version you previously had not have these settings? I'm not doubting your time, just trying to see how these settings affect measured times.

Well this is fucking great! I was flasing it and fuckin vista frooze and the programming bar said Not responding. Now all i get when i plug it back in is a red screen. When i plug it back into the car all i get is a bright blue screen. Now what? Im going to guess the fucking thing is toast.

Did you uninstall the earlier version of the software in your computer?

I have just recently purchase the DH with version 2.0.3. I found the newer version 2.51 or something online and have it stored on my computer. However, there are forums for the Dashawk that suggest there are issues with that version. I tried to call MSD. Left message and what a shock, no return call, imagine that! So, the 2.51 remains uninstalled. Anyone have issues with the newer version? Since I am new to this device, what were the issues with the 2.0.3 version?

Ya, i had no issues with that. Uninstalled the older version. Installed the new version. Plugged in the DH it connected it. So i upgraded it then about halfway through the programming process that little box says not responding left it there for a few minnutes to see if it would work nope. Vista was totally locked up so i had to turn of the computer. Went outside to plug the dh into the car and low and behold it doesnt work. just get a solid blue screen. I'm going to try and get it to work again. GG VISTA! fuck u windows!

Thank you.
If you downloaded the newest application which is 2.5 and install it on your computer it has the firmware update 2.5.1 in it. So when you plug the DH into your computer and hit update or whatever the button is it will default to a folder that has a icon in it that looks like a microchip and said 251 click that and it will flash it.

I saved it to my desktop. When I installed the 2.0.3 software that came with the device, I tried to upgrade the thing but did not get the same example the instructions said I would get, so I quit trying. Then I found the online 2.51 and... I am just cautious about what you went through. I am not a computer guy and would not be able to fix any issues if they came up.

The 2.5 had issues. This is the newest version, 2.51.

Ya, the 2.5 firmware had a few bugs and 2.5.1 does not.
Something cool i did not know until tonight! You can make your own splash screens. I don't know how they made the SRT one but it looks nice. Here is one i made. Don't laugh now.
