Watched most of the video. That is all about killing the power to get it rolling. You're probably making too much power to ever let it see all the timing it wants. Excellent chance I'm wrong though lol.

I think tires would play a giant role here. A radial is probably a loser in this setup.

I can only pull timing to 2.5 seconds... So the end of my ramp is 2.5 seconds. I only had it set to 2 seconds... My 60' is 1.80 seconds. I am going to call msd to. Make sure that 2.5 seconds is the max. I would like to carry out to 4 seconds if I could. Believe it or not I am only down 5mph from the track... It will almost take all the power in the top of 2nd and in 3rd. Bigger tuning add is weight. My friend added 100lbs and no other changes picked up 2/10ths.

Bias ply are way way more apt to keep moving while spinning. No chance I could do this on a radial lol.


Did you catch the point in the 2nd run where I accidentally tapped the transbrake button about 3/4 into the run? Thank God I was in 2nd gear so TB didn't engage, but the 2 step still activated for a split second lol.

I seen.

Couldve turned ugly, but only for a split second lol.


I’m really interested to see how it works out for you when you get the FuelTech on this thing. Timing cuts/programming will take moments. Infinite possibilities will be a giant improvement.

Forgot to mention - way to go - it was fun watching the video!

Nice. Very nice. You can hear the tires squeal/protesting as it moves down the track.

Cool ;)

Are you going to put the Fueltech in over the winter or only pieces of it? (picture me whispering over your right shoulder 'put it all in, put it all in, put it all in......')
