Between the LS Fest, you, Steve and Wayne testing on the east coast it should be an interesting weekend for numbers.


Good luck!

That would make your 4.701 1/8ET become a 4.401 1/8ET

I dont think 100 is a tenth at 1/8 mile, the calculators say 4.70 becomes 4.55 and 165 becomes 170. We also have been bringing in the power faster which has given us more MPH and a faster ET, its an eponential curve.

4.50's-i'm pretty sure we won't see that friday night.I'll be happy if we make it from a to b without breaking anything or blowing the tires off.All we need is some good data to work from and then we'll go from there.

We're on the same page. We'll talk friday about the game plan but initally I am thinking backing 100-150hp out on the transbrake leave the power management program the same and start from there. I never really thought about how much the reduction in weight would change the power to weight ratio. We might need to drop our leave RPM 50 or 100 also. Alot of things are starting to make sense. You know putting a tune in to go from A to B hasn't been our problem.

im going to laugh if you end up with some completely insane number like a 4.35 or better out of no where. kind of a "holyshit thats awesome, wait... where the hell did that come from?" moment.

I got into touch with John late tonight, I sent the cal and some other stuff. Its turning the injectors off while on the transbrake. Hopefully its just a firmware download.

definitely don't want to try to make passes in a car like that if you're not feeling 100%. can't wait to see you guys make some passes and get some good data
