Awesome Mike!!!!!!! Can you ramp boost down a tick and then bring it back up? Would moving your instant center forward any help since you have plenty of traction at the hit?

I think the limiter will allow you to come out a lot harder. Your is flat *** flying. The BS3 doesn't control your boost?? We will get mine set up through AEM to gradually add boost.

Not sure on the engine yet. Yesterday was the 1st day with no rain in over a week. No big hurry as the local track is closed. We are looking for some place to race once we get the twin-turbo 93 Mustang done. Easier to travel in 2's.

Sweeeeet. 8.30's or possibly a .20 this Saturday at Trails if not Thursday at Kilkare. If I can stay in it and get it leaned out up top. My BS3 was only scaled to 6500. So I could only adjust to that. It was going 10:1 A/F at 7000+.

I've never needed anything else to help control the boost on the CE. Just set it on kill and adjust the timing as it was ramping to calm it down. We have some other things we have done in the past that work. I was at the track competeing and didn't want to make a bunch of changes and cost myself a win.
Stay tuned. But I will tell you. This one wont go 7's.

How low can you drop timing in the mid range to drop boost?

I'd like to limit the ramp up in the 3200-4500 range. Timing is at 15 there and I've thought of dropping it to 12 or 13.....any thoughts?

PSJ, the turbo is now a true 98 thanks to Jose.

onfire, drop it as much as you need till you get it to do what you want. It won't hurt anything. Mine usually responds well with a 2* change but it wasn't this time. Like I said I was afraid to make too big a change and loose the round.

MM, I'm running the TH210 now. I broke the pump in the 4L80E at the track on Drag Week. I'm sending it back to Rossler soon for some extras to help me race it next season. Your going auto now?

Yep still 3.50's. I prefer to call it crazy. The big turbo and the motor seem to work well together at the high rpm. No signs of float and the higher I shift the faster it goes.

One more question on your converter. MidWest Converter? Any problems. Seems to be holding your power. What stall?

Thanks

If you're gonna rescale your cal, give me a shout. I reworked Tom's a bit before this past weekend to get some resolution in the upper RPM, and swap over to the 4 BAR sensor

I've got some stuff I wrote to rescale the cal map since you can change the load/speed axes but the actual cal doesn't change in any way. You have to rework the numbers by hand. Screw that

If I get motivated, maybe I'll work on the cal compare stuff too. Not being able to look at what changed from *.big to *.big drives me nuts.
