Default New Bests First Time Out With PT4000

All I can say is I'm a very happy customer of Yank. Installed my PT a couple of weeks ago. Our central Arkansas track opened for Saturday night T&T tonight.

Here are the results with the new PT4000:

* Reduced my best 1,000' ET by 0.355 seconds
* Reduced my best 1/8 mile ET by 0.294 seconds
* Reduced my best 60' ET by 0.161 seconds
* Improved my 1000' trap speed by 2.4 MPH
* Improved my 1/8 mile trap speed by 2.4 MPH

All the runs were significant improvements over my lifetime bests. The best of the best was:

60'

(hit the stupid enter key...)

60' 1.671
330' 5.005
1/8 7.854 @ 87.37MPH
1000' 10.125 @ 99.75MPH

The track was incredibily crowded and I only got 4 runs in in 5 hours (3 for me and a first run for my 15-year-old daughter). I'm confident that if we had stayed the runs would have improved with the cooler air.

The last converter was a Yank 3200.

Can't wait to get back to a 1/4 mile track. That will come after headers and Ed Wright tuning soon.

NICE #'s!! Guessing you would run some 12.0's at about 112, and some deep 11's after your planned mods, when you run on a 1/4.

Awesome times Pat! Glad you were able to hook the car up. What's Leo been up to? Think he's got an answer for your new badass times? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I have not spoken to Leo in a while. He's laid up from back surgery. I suspect I'd have him easily when he was off juice.
