I've tried this on one of my logs I took while tuning a 99 car. As much stronger as it feels compared to stock, I'm guessing it's not close to 220hp/246Nm![Idea](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/sign0184.gif)
Takes the log just fine, edited the car info slightly to change to the 3.636 diff ratio etc. It was a 3rd gear pull.
How do I get something slightly more realistic out of this?

1. Try using English units. Since most users have been in the US, it may have bugs when using metric. If you find that to be the case, you should make a bug report.
2. Double check the gear ratios in the car profile. 5 spd vs. 6 spd (both were available on your model year) -- there could easily be an error.
3. Double check tire diameter and weights.
4. I usually do runs both ways to cut down on wind and slope effects.

I'm trying to run my log, but keep getting an error that there is no TIME collumn.
Using VD 1.2.7 and log from MS3
Log_Here
*EDIT: This is a sample log, that I have available right now. Last night I had a better log of just a 2K to 7K 3rd gear pull. Error Message is the same, and VD will not allow the log to be processed.
Help, please.

Here's what I got from your file David:

Nice numbers!
I'm not sure if VD is being actively supported or not. What I did to your file to get it to load was delete the first row (only had "#" in first column) and third row (with units) and then save it as a *.csv file. I did this with MS Excel. With that done, VD opened it just fine and produced the above output. The modified file is attached.
Send a query to the VD developer along with the MS3 file so he can make whatever changes are needed for native support.
