Bump box didn't work on this pass. Excuse the old man river reaction time as a result.

Thanks guys. It's been a lot of hard work, but it feels great to finally get some good numbers out of it.

I couldn't do any of this without the guys in the shop though. They took their own time to put their own sweat and blood into this project to make it what it is.

I would like to take credit for it all, but I can't. I do take a lot of pride in saying that I do all of my own tuning and that I drive my own car. I could never let someone else hop behind the wheel and have all the fun though!

Nice work Martin! What was wrong with the bump box? How much boost did you leave off of?

Sales@Tick

iTrader: (3)

Your guess is as good as mine. The settings I had in the tune up for the trans brake creep are the same that they've always been. It just didn't work.

I sat in the pits with the driver's door open and changed the settings to allow the creep function to work without being at WOT and at 100kpa. Doing this allows me to sit in the pits and press the trans brake button and creep button and listen to the trans brake solenoid pulse.

Sitting in the pits I was able to change the settings and actually hear it pulse, but it still wouldn't move the car.

I'm just going to put a boost leash/pulse leash combo on it and be done with it. I'm comfortable with the Boost Leash and how it works and I know it works as we have it on another car.

That run was leaving on 7# of boost. With the XFI controller I've played hell trying to get it to leave on anything more than that. I'm surprised I've got it to go this fast with such a goofy boost controller.

I want to be able to tell the boost controller that I want a certain amount of gate pressure on the dome while on the trans brake which the Leash does, but my XFI does not. I want to be able to tell the boost controller that upon the release of the trans brake (first timed stage) instantly ramp the gate pressure to whatever I want as quick as it can. Then use the second timed stage to reach peak boost in 1.0-1.2 seconds like I need it to.

When I get this car to leave on 10# it's going to be a whole different ball game.

No BOV no WasteGate and let it eat!!

Cool to see you got this thing going as fast as it has with the "Lazy" 60 foot!

Congrats and sure it'll keep going faster!

Sent you a Email (I think) did it through the forum because I'm lazy does that work or do I need to use your sig to get ahold of you?

Email through the website is fine. It will come in on my work email account.

I have the boost leash pulse leash combo as well. Looking forward to seeing this thing get down.

Yea we have it on at least 2 other cars we tune and love it. Extremely simple to use and it does what you tell it to do every single time.

This car is going to get down there is no doubt about it. I'm extremely happy with the results so far. When our other shop car comes out that my boss Jonathan owns and drives it's going to be game over! Not to mention the absolutely nasty 9500rpm N/A Ultra Street combo that our fabricator who built most of my car is building for himself.

Tick will have 3 LS powered Ultra Street cars solidly in the 5.0's hopefully by the end of the year all running a different combo. One turbo, one nitrous and one naturally aspirated. Showcasing what we can do as a shop and racing the parts that we sell is extremely important to us.

The fact that we are racers ourselves, and actually race our cars should speak volumes about how much we love this industry and that we aren't just in it for the money.

Martin, have you ever used the boost controller that is used on the Holley HP/Dominator? I've thought about getting the Dominator but maybe thinking the HP with a Boost Leash/bump instead. I've heard alot of good about the Leash products.

Sales@Tick

iTrader: (3)

I have not, but I race with a guy that is a friend of mine who does. He really likes it. He uses it as a time based controller which allows it to function like the Boost Leash does.

Personally I wish I could go back to when I bought the XFI for my car, sucked it up and spent the extra coin on the Dominator. It would of controlled everything I needed it to do in my car, and knowing what I do now it would of done it in a much better fashion that what I have.

Especially with the new touch screen dash that Holley just released. It literally does everything you need all in one. It's a dash, a data logger, a lap top computer/tablet used to tune the ECU AND it functions as a switch panel for all your electronics and accessories in the car!

We weren't dealers at the time for Holley when I bought my XFI. I really wish we were because with our discounts we get from Holley I could of purchased a fully optioned Dominator for about 500-600 dollars more than what I spent on my XFI.

Good deal

I'm betting on a 5.0X pass next time out!!

Sales@Tick

iTrader: (3)

I think the next time we go out with it we'll come back with a 5.09-5.11 pass.

Don't know if I have everything lined out and dialed in well enough yet for a low 5.0 pass, but I think I have enough data right now to put it in the 5.09-5.11 range on the first pass with the Boost Leash if the track is there.

Very cool about the shop having 3 very different combo's in the same class.

Car is moving man no doubt you will be running 5.0s in no time! Can't remember if I've seen but what shocks are in your car?

Sales@Tick

We think the N/A motor will be a solid 5.0 second car, and that the nitrous car has the power to run 4.90's. I don't think I can get my car into the 4.90's without a lot of luck and a lot more testing, but we'll see what happens.

It has out of the box double adjustable afco's on the front end and re-valved double adjustable Mark Menscer afco's on the rear end.
