Default Diappointing day @ the Track :(

I say this because I had run a 10.26 @ 134 earlier this year with the 3.23 gear set and no dedicated fuel system and a different tune. I ran a 3.73 gear set this time.


Well I said I would report and unfortunately today was not what I had hoped for.

The track was very crowded. I got off 2 runs, one at 12:00 and the other at 2:30.
The DA was 2066 for the first run and 2081 for the second.

On my first run I had the nitrous kicking in around @ 3,000 rpm no first gear lock out.
I had a bad 60 and spun pretty badly. I also had issues with hitting the limiter on that run on the 1-2 and 3-4 shift.

Second run was cleaner although there was a slight slip in 3-4 only. For that one I just engaged first gear lock out so the
I would not spray in 1st. I also reduce the shift pint to 6300 from 6400. I also reduce the nitrous shutoff limit to compensate for the reduced shift point.

So this this is what I got today. Gonna rest and look at the logs. Very tired and dissapointed. Oh, and I did not cut plugs like I wanted either.
It was just too crowded.

I may have video at a later date. GNXS was good enough to be there with his HD video camera!

I hope you can guess I am car 25

Sounds like you need some better air and some seat time. I think you'll get it worked out and in the 9's soon.
