Thanks! Yeah it does, haha. It was an 03 LQ4 straight from the junkyard. It will be getting tore down this year though. Going to put a good piston and rod in it.

Friendly race against a buddy. His fox has a rod & piston 6.0, LS3 heads, GM intake with fab elbow, custom cam, gt47-80, Holley EFI, 4L80e, 3.27 gear, E85. It went 5.7X @ 123 this pass if I recall. It runs very well. I messed up during staging and didn't get on the 2-step long enough. This was only a 1.45 60'.

Thanks man. It's really consistent and runs well for what it is. Once the converter is dialed in a little better it should go even quicker.

I didn't. I was worried about hurting the motor and it kept going faster each pass.

I noticed a few pages back you dump timing on the 2 step, how much total timing do you have on the 2 step? Also are you putting timing back in it once you get to a certain boost level on the 2 step or does the timing stay pulled till you release the 2 step?

Right now I pull 20-22* which puts me around 5-7* of timing and I'm able to build 7-8psi writhing 2.5 seconds. Right now I have it set up to put timing back into it after 7psi so that I am at full timing before I even release the transbrake. Just curious how you were doing it

The way I understand the MS3 is that the value I have in my 2-step launch is what it pulls it to when activated. So I am commanding it to -10* on the 2-step and as soon as I let go of the button it goes back to my timing table.

I see, how quick are you getting to 8psi? I was able to make 8.2psi in 2.8 second going from idle. I'm wondering that is considered quick or should I work on it some more

I will check my logs tonight and report back. I light the first bulb and get on the 2-step, then quickly pump the brake to roll into the second bulb and by this time it's close to my launch psi. I try to light the second bulb as soon as the other person lights their first though. Gives me a little more time on the 2-step.

I am just using the duty cycle feature in MS3-Pro. I have a single boost control solenoid and my reference is coming off the turbo. I hope to implement some sort of traction control next year but right now it all comes on as fast as it can.

I am doing the same with my Micro. It has been surprisingly consistent on my set up.

I know this is outta left field, but have you tried to see how the Nitto DR 275s work on the street from any kind of roll? I know they won't hook like a MT Pro, but I'd seen Stangkilr use them on his last two camaros he's built that were highway roll type cars.

From a slow roll they light up instantly but going highway speeds they will stay hooked up. I honestly don't beat on the car much when I drive it around. I will do the occasional roll race with my buddies if we are out together but don't get too crazy.
