Stab it and steer it
Tweaked the tune a bit (thanks Eric for that ability) and tweaked the meth a bit and the truck put down an 11.62 @ 116.66. Next round 11.608 but I braked (broke out by 2 thou.). If I calculate my 1000' time along with my average 1000' to 1320' that was an 11.58 pass.
Speeds aren't real high. Actually lower than "normal." 117 tops. Usually around 118. A comp racer once told me the speed will come down because I'm getting there to quickly. Half track speeds never budged. Stuck on 92.
I upped the launch RPM to 2650 and 60' times dropped from the 1.8s to 1.635 and 1.666. Probably where most of the lower ET came from. Any higher it spins the tires. (Street with 23 psi in the rears.)
I've got an 11.573 pass from last January. In general I consider a single "record" pass a fluke. Last night 2 legit 11.60 pass' back to back. (officially 11.622 and 11.608) So I can now call my truck a real 11.60 truck.
Still on 20 - 21 lbs boost if you're wondering. Although I topped off from about 1/3 tank with 91 there would would have been a bit of 100 race gas in there from a couple weeks ago.
You might recall I had a broken ring land on #1. 55psi compression. Ya think having all 6 working helped. :rotf:
Fun. We'll see if I can repeat...:roll:

Doesn't seem to work. Times go down. There is a "sweet spot" somewhere between tuning the chip, adjusting meth, and launch RPM that seems to be a moving target. This truck pulls very hard, to me anyway, on the top end. I can tell I've had a good run if the spedo is above 115 at the stripe.
