I disabled traction control, tuned it, and took it for a spin. 2nd gear felt better...it pulled and felt smooth. It bogged a little in 3rd. I read that disabling traction control by just pushing the button doesn't fully disable it, so I tried the method where you push the button off and on while doing a series of things with the brake pedal and e-brake. The dash showed that it was disabled, so I took the car for a spin. Same thing...2nd gear felt smooth, a little bog in 3rd. Definitely felt less, but it's still there.

I am attaching the calibration and two datalogs for the two pulls.

Also, when I am doing a new calibration, it gives 8 options; the 2nd option is 240 lb-ft tune and the 3rd option is CARB pending 240 lb-ft tune. I have tried both, but I was wondering if they are the same or if I am supposed to be picking one in particular.
