Default First Day at the track with the YSi!

Well I finally got out to a rental this past Friday. Track was okay,weather was warmer than I wanted. I had to detune the car alot to keep it from spinning. Basically I put in a fixed timing curve so I would say i was down a good 100-150 horse. I won't be using Drag Radials next time out-this car needs a full Slick. I made 3 passes pretty much back to back at 9.5's. Put in the 900 rwhp tune and it just blew off the tires. Going to change the tires and get the BETA to control throttle angle from HPT and head back out. Here's the vid:

I'll try to get the other video's too. It was nice to drive home with the AC blasting! I heard the air density was almost 2000 FT that day-it was pretty humid.

Were going to do the new 6 pinion 2.84 gear set this week and I'll finally hook up my TC lock up switch-tired of watching that shift light all the way down the track.

Another pass, you can see how easy the launch was with no timing.
