Have fun, the track should be good and sticky. I will be at PR Friday through Sunday. If any of you Portland guys have some time, Woodburn divisional is this weekend fun to go watch top sportsman try and get down the track.

I'll be there seeing if I can get the car to hook off the line on 10 PSI.

I found out Sunday that at 20psi it blows off the tires pretty hard!

Are you going to try and launch on 10lbs and ramp it up to 20lbs or just start over and work from 10lbs for a entire run? The car makes great power but your definately going to have a problem getting 100% to the ground.

Imagine that.....it must really suck to make too much power Ryan.

Post up how everyone does. It will give me something to do while I'm in NY.

You should have seen him try to launch it on 20lbs last week
His car definately makes awesome power. I wish I had video of it, the car didn't even move when he first released the brake it spun about 4 revelutions before it broke the beams.

It was very entertaining I almost wish I was going to be at Bremerton to watch this weekend.

Well, there are some functions of the boost controller that I didn't have setup.

There is a launch function that sets the boost level based on the status of the Trans brake, and then there is a "Shift" function that changes the stages based on the shift light.

So before, I just put in the boost that I wanted and thats what it was for the whole run. I had it set at 20#. So last week when I got it to come up on boost, it went straight to 20# on the brake. When I let go, well the car couldn't hook it, LOL.

Now, I have both additional functions hooked up. So now any time the T-brake is engaged I set the boost to 10# (or what ever I want). Then as soon as the button is released, it goes to the first stage (15#). Then when the shift light comes on, it goes to the next stage (18#) for all of Second gear, Then shift light again and it goes to 20# for all of third gear.

So, this weekend I should be able to dial in each stage and see how this is going to work.

Should be fun!
