The truck ran its best yet today on a very hot and slick race track. The lock-up controller helped a bunch. I have not had time to look at any logs yet but the truck is much stronger through the middle of the track now. Thanks to everyone who helped with the tuning tips. I still need a line lock and a way to use the Brake Torque mgmt to get me off the line with a boosted launch.
Here are the incrementals:
60' = 1.96sec (0-2 lbs of boost at launch)
330' = 5.09sec
1/8th ET = 7.62sec
1/8th MPH = 97.93mph
1000' ET = 9.79sec
1000' MPH = 111.888mph
1/4 ET = 11.52sec
1/4 MPH = 121.82mph
Track was very hot & greasy. No prep and we should have only been allowed to run 1000'. It was all I could to get safely stopped with hot brakes after hot lapping my truck (nearly ran it off the end once).
I did not dare try to spray. I think with a line lock & boosted launch I can get another 2-3 tenths. My truck cleared up a 2700us tune to a grey haze at about 60' so I think with a small jet I can get to the 10sec range.
Thanks again to everyone who has helped. Big thanks to Mike Bodine for the transmission work and words of advice.
