Default Track Today!!!!!! :(

Well, today my car did not run as good as I was hoping for.

Motor-- close to my best, but about .1 off
1.673 60 ft.
12.38 @ 109.38

N20--
1.55 60ft.
11.54 @ 111.50---I love running 2 MPH on the N20.
(Can't imagine what a full pass would actually feel like.)

The I still cannot get a full pass on the N20. I had to let out of it 3 times. I just do not understand why it is doing this. Throws a code, then we tried to clear it and nothing showed up. I have tried everything to get a full pass on the N20. What the hell???

Well, I am getting tired of this, I might just give up on the N20. The car leaves hard, but then falls on its face. Something is for sure wrong and I can't figure it out.
I have done everything twice and checked it (plugs, wires) and it still does the same thing.

Oh, I am using 100 octane too. I had it on a dyno a little while ago and the A/F was perfect. I just don't get it?

What all does you TNT kit consist of?
Arm switch, RPM window switch, FPSS, WOT switch…….
How is it wired up?

Everything is wired up good. I am using a WOT switch arm switch set up. I am NOT using a FPPS because I had the car checked on an air/fuel dyno and the car was perfect.

I still have TQ management though. So, do you think that could be the problem. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

My car would fall on its face with it right after a shift. Try this wind out first gear to about 35-40 then quickly let off the gas shift the car to manually and jump on the gas again. You can feel the car fall on its face. Soon as I had it deleted, my car ran a lot better and never fell on its face again. I am willing to bet it is your problem...

Wow, even with problems on N2O, you still knocked off .84 seconds in your ET! Have you done any N2O runs with AutoTap (or any scanner) to see what's going on while you're using nitrous? Do the problems also occur when you're shooting less nitrous? Hopefully, some of the nitrous guru's (like the Colonel) will chime in and help out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Hope you get things worked out! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I never used to have this problem, but the last 3 times I have gone to the track it does this. I have always used a 150 shot, so I don't know. I really need to do a run with a scanner. Hopefully, someone will let me borrow theirs out here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I guess I will get the TQ deleted.

Ya, I gained .84 and 2 mph, you like that. LOL

Usually I gain 1.2 when I can stay almost all the way in it. Even the run I gained 1.2 I had to let out once. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
