No, my PDK is spot on at all times.. It's only all over the place on a launch if I don't get traction in 1st gear then it bounces everywhere. Other than that I don't have the flutter at all... Some days the car is noticeably faster than others but that's probably due to how much gas/cargo I have along with temperatures as it can fluctuate 20/30 degrees.

DA is Density Altitude. You might need to update your app on your phone.

I apologize if I didn't reply to your PM. I'm not too good with that.. I just have the simple bolt ons. Headers, bypass pipes, cobb, bmc filter, wheels/tires and DSC.

I'm busting out the GoPro tonight. I'll film a couple clips.

my DA is 628 feet. Its on some of my screenshots but not all. Weird. Maybe the older screenshots didn't have it, but the new ones do..
I notice the same on your pics. The older screenshots didnt have it, but your newer ones do..

Update added DA and additional 1ft rollout line. Its awesome. You can just connect to the dragy snd check your DA on the spot. If it sucks (ie 2500+) dont even bother

Hey now, DA here is always high.. Often 4000-4500+. I wish I had a DA of 600 or the likes of that dragtimes dude who drag races and gets his numbers at/below sea level.

Your DA sucks. Real bad. Turbos can compensate up to a limit but NA cars would be suffocating where you live. Out in the midwest we’re at 2500-3500 these days also

I had to google it myself. DA stands for Density Altitude. I dont really know what it means, but that's what it stands for.

It means how the atmospheric conditions compared to air density at different elevation. Higher DA means thinner air and lower DA means denser air. Lower DA and denser air (closer to sea level) means more power. For example... If at near sea level your DA is measuring 9000 ft because its 130F outside with 100% humidity its like you car is running in colorado with thin mountain air at 9000 ft elevation. Likewise on a cool night with 0% humidity near sea level, DA should be at 1000 ft or less (like PTS has). There are calculators that correct your trap speeds for DA and all the magazines do this. So if the DA was 4000 ft while they were doing their 0-60 testing and they got 4.2 they repost like 3.9 to correct for DA. For drag racing people generally want DA under 1000 ft especially for NA cars.
