Alright @Terry@BMS it looks like the things have been proven...I guess this will be one of my next purchases after I get done with the single turbo conversion.

Embarrased to post this because of the ET, but that's on me, not the Dragy, lol. Just showing the accuracy. My Dragy had fallen under a seat and I couldn't find it, but it connected, so I knew it was in the car. It did tell me low satellites so accuracy may have been somewhat better with line of sight. Only got this one pass in before the outlet hose popped off the next pass just past the 1/8 mile. For some reason the second pass dragy didn't record, I may have accidentally closed the app, but I cut a great 2.3 60ft and it did go 96 in the 1/8 on it.

If I can just find a decent road around here to test with, I won't have to go to the track constantly and drop 20 bucks to make 1 pass if a hose pops off, lol. It's funny looking at MellowYellows's reports with a .05% slope, compared to the .32% I have and I'm on a drag strip! Anyways, I'm extremely satisfied with the Dragy's accuracy, just not my driving. Just wish the Android app would get updated with the same features as the IOS.

Are you guys launching in 1st or 2nd?

I am launching in 1st as you can see the 0-60 shift dip in acceleration. However I am AWD with aggressive extreme performance summer tires squared 245 all around. Pirrelli P Zero Nero GT. They sometimes slip alittle if I brake boost alittle high off the line but it's very rare depends on the type of road really. Mostly it pulls off the line like a raped ape with 5 psi spooled up at launch. If I spool to much my transmission will skip into 2nd gear for some reason. Every once in a while I'll get a minor slip on the 1-2 shift.

Flush the trans fluid, give it a go in M mode so it doesn’t slip its way into 2nd gear on its own

Still jumps to 2nd even in Manual mode... I had a BEF that did something weird once along time ago thought 2nd gear was 100% dead it would slip out of 2nd all the time and go to 3rd and the most painful part was on the 1-2 shift it would sometimes slam back into 1st overreving the engine and painfully feel the tires slip. Did a fluid flush sleeves mechtronics seals etc at that time (60k) didn't help reflashed to stock then back to the BEF never had that problem again. Not sure what that was about.

Full weight DD loaded 535i sport, mods in sig.
Temps were in the 80s, bumpy back road. Spun 1st and 2nd gears, and it was a bit uphill. As it sits, I think I can crack 120 mph in 1/4 with a bit cooler weather.
Starting in first gear and short shifting to 2nd still works better than 2nd gear launches, which bogs badly every time.

Thanks to BMS for hooking it up with this Dragy! My 6MT 135i with 6266 @ 27psi with a full tank of gas and a passenger. I'm pleased with the results, but know there's a lot of room for improvement. Gonna try again by myself with 1/8 tank and see if I can improve the shift bog (see yellow line).
