Made the 11's, pics and vid!
Hanging in there dude.. Good luck with retirement man! You going to try and get a job at DOL or what?
No, I was thinking I want it to engage a few hundred rpms higher. Right now it comes on at 3000 rpm, was thinking of bumping it up to 34-3500 so I launch a little longer on the motor before it kicks in. Only reason I am thinking this is because I pulled the left front in the air NA, didn't pull them on spray and slowed on my 60' times. I need to play around with it and see what works best, this was my first time at the track on spray.
It seemed to me the car was well hooked when the N20 came on in the vid, so turning it on later wouldn't help. If it wasnt fully hooked then yeah more delay would be good. Sounds like you are only having trouble launching on the N20. Have you thought about a progressive controller so that its a partial hit at launch and rolls up to the full shot over ____ seconds? HSW has one that is progressive and a window switch all in one I believe.
Congrats on your times! Cant wait to get my crap installed and hopefully be in the 11's also.

Here's a vid from the track that someone shot, not the clearest but it sure looks like on this launch I get both tires a couple inches in the air. My run starts around the 4:15 mark..

Thanks man! Yeah I am going to play with tire pressures and shock settings next year. I think it will hook off the line on spray. Also going to throw a Spohn anti roll drag sway bar on this winter. First sprayed run my 60' time was off because I had the shifter in 3(was letting the computer shift) and out of habit had my hand sitting on it(the shifter). When I launched the car launched so damn hard it yanked my hand back on the shifter throwing the tranny right into 2nd gear, I quickly threw in back into 3rd which then shifted it back into first, but I am sure that cost me a few tenths on the other end. Had that not happened I am sure it would of run an 11.30/40.. 2nd spray run I just blew the tires off when I launched, still ran a respectable 11.74@120 though. It's all trial and error, I only hit the track 2-3 times a year.. What kind of times you running NA?

As far as my times N/A, I have only had the car on the track while stock and pulled a 13.7 with a rough launch then got kicked off for no helmet, the stall and throttle body are the only mods right now as far as HP mods and have not been to the track yet, I have LS6 heads, hooker long tubes, lanes true duals, dual valve springs, Harland Sharp rollers, LCA's blah blah in the garage and a N20 kit that I am undecided on using, still have to choose a cam its time for me to **** or get off the pot on that one, but none of those things are installed so my times are nothing to speak of.
LOL at the shifter deal, I can see that happening, I have basically done that before, not that the launch so much did it just accidentally pulled it back while having my hand on it.
