Different perspective of the launch.... I spun this pass, but it shows you what the car does when it leaves....

you mean at the end of the run? probably the parachute blocking the view

car looked great!

can you post the other incrementals from the runs? How much boost on those runs?

We will be turning up the launch boost and hopefully the 60' will come around.
I'm not telling you how to do it but the number that is important is the boost pressure when you generate wheel speed. Didn't realize you were 3600#, its going to be an uphill battle to get it to come around but you can get there. You may need alittle more time on the brake to get the boost to level out.

Radials need to be dead hooked and you throw as much power at them as you can. Once they spin there is no recovery.

My break pedal sensor is touchy, that's all... I have had it recalibrated a couple of times, but with the manual brakes there is a touch of slop at the top of the pedal and sometimes it triggers the sensor.

I'll be honest and tell you that this is all trial and error for me right now.

I have never had these issues before so I will be learning as I go.

Things we "plan" on trying this weekend are

1) increasing launch boost
2) playing with ramp time
3) increaseing launch RPM
4) working on spool time

I don't really know which will make the most difference, but we will be trying to figure it out.

If I could, I would chop 300lbs out of the car and I think that would solve a lot of problems.
