I didn't think you were trying to limit info Steve. I'm a junkie . I understand all doesn't apply to everyone, but some can apply to a few of us.
You still seem to be accusing me of wanting to limit data which must be something you assume I would do. There is no need to try to defend your desire for data. Every real racer is a data analyst, or, has one in his "team".
Let me point out a few things which makes it impossible to draw conclusions about the converter performance from the data at hand.
What were the ambient weather conditions? Temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure from run with the lock up and this run? What was the track temperature? These are necessary to establish some kind of datum or baseline.
What kind of tires is he running and was the pressure the same? Was the track prepped the same on both runs? Did the tires spin on either run?
Was the Edge converter being locked on top end?
There were a couple more points I wanted to make, but, I forgot them while I was feeding goats and sheep this morning because I was concentrating on trying to remain vertical and being determined to kick every thing that butted or hooked me trying to get to the feed in the sack in my arms
In short, the data cannot be analyzed in a meaningful way-we knew that already, of course because we had no logs as well as the things I mentioned. Too bad we cannot overlay (in the computer) two PL logs to see the difference between runs.
What I see in the time slips is that the non lock up is more efficient on the top end. How much, I don't know because we don't know if the Edge was locked. And, I agree that he needs to leave at a higher boost to try to pick up the bottom end.
Looks to me like he has some left in the tank...
