Saturday I'll run my races on DR's then switch to slicks and come out on some real boost. I don't have a motor 2 step so it's not real easy for me to choose just the right boost levels. I have the boost controller set to 8PSI on the launches and it switches to 17PSI right after launch. This gets me the 9.5 ET's at around 150 MPH. I can run up to say 20PSI but I'm not sure if the tire can take it. It's just fun playing with it.

Saturday should be a lot of practice runs for me and I can try more combinations. I don't have a wheelie bar so progressive practice is my only defense against the dreaded "Hey look at those clouds" pucker situations.

ahhh i see. when you guys are controlling boost off the line are you doing it in increments of 1psi with eboost i suppose? i know the ams units control it in .1 psi which is crazy.
one of the things i don't understand is when your bulding boost at the line, thats hundreths of secs your losing or does it depend on the tree (class) which i don't know yet because ive never competed (yet) or does it simple not matter because that's the only little con to a turbo setup an how you utilize it at the strip?
notice the d1sc for sale in the sig...if it sells im going turbo if not its no big deal ill have boost either way and to the OP good luck on the gentle man's bet

I only control boost at increments of 1PSI. You should lose nothing in the way of time from the tree. Even with pro tree you have time to build boost. You just need to start building it as you're walking into the 2nd bulb.
Here's a youtube video that shows someone building it that way.
