Had some issues with the progressive last night, At least nothing was hurt but the rear bumper cover! Have everything figured out now so next trip we should make a few fast passes.
Good Lord Almighty! I was not expecting that big of a wheelie, even after reading the title to the thread. Curious how much you left on. Any idea on the weight of this car? I'm assuming it's deceivingly light.
Oh man, all ready tearing it up lol, did you leave on a 200 shot ?

We had some throttle linkage issues the round before and it was not leaving at full throttle. Fixing that we were rushed getting it to the lanes and forgot to tighten the front end up for the spray. The car is on a 200 shot, That was 60% of it. I am not sure what deceivingly light is, but the car is under 3k with the driver.
Should just take thr bumper off hahaha. Been thinking about upgrading my intake and running a puck or stinger plate. Either way I go I know I will be happy
Here is the video of wheelie number 2! 200 shot leaving at 30% on a 2.5 second ramp. Going to have to add limiters an skis before the next track outing.
I was having the rear unload once the front came up and started to settle (radial, and I know that is not your issue). But I went from a 175 lbs rate 18" long spring with shock at full tight to a 265lb spring at 15". This aloud me to use the shock again for control. Not saying limiters can't/don't work, but I feel we often use too soft/long of a spring as power levels increase. Just a thought.

Watched all the video from Friday night this morning. It doesn't seem to matter what the progressive is set on if you leave with the kit on 25% we still have to pedal the car to keep the nose down. The funny part is it is a total dog leaving with no nitrous. Time to make some adjustments and try again. I will try and get the videos up today.
Are you running the 6ls box? Have you tried putting some launch retard in it?
It has a Daytona Sensors Smart Spark LS in it. This was only our second time at the track with the car. So we would like to make sure the chassis is where we want it before changing too many things.

Strange singles in the front for now are full tight. We are going to add limiters asap.

It is tough to turn down a really big system like The Stinger plate to low HP using a progressive. So, turning down the timing becomes neccessary to limit "the hit".
You may already know or have considered this, but solenoids for the Stinger plate have a very large orifice and the 25% progressive setting on the hit that you have programmed is not 25% of the sized jets you have installed, it is actually 25% of the capability of the solenoid. So, if the solenoid is capable of 500 hp, 25% would be 125 hp on the hit. Even if you only have 125 jets in the plate.
If you already considered this sorry for being redundant. If not, pulling some timing can get you going A to B while you iron out the details.

We have the smaller solenoids on the kit good for 400 hp jetted to 200. Two step set at 2900 leaving at 25% on a 2.5 second ramp with a fresh bottle at 1000 psi made the last wheel stand. Like I said it has only made 5 nitrous passes. I am sure we will get a handle on it. We are pulling 8 degrees with the kit right now.

Stinger plate ruins another rear bumper!
