Tim, you ever try launching that thing by shocking the converter? In other words, bring it up to 6-7 psi against the brake and then hammering it when the light changes? Sometimes that will give more torque multiplication than bringing it up to close to full stall against the brake...let's it flash stall even higher
that's a case where more timing may work better
My 3 week off turned into 4 with the rain out last week.
Gave me time to install motor mounts new plugs and to add confusion to the mixture a TR6
Made 4 passes no KR. That probably solved.
After the first pass I pulled one plug I knew it would not be a try plug reading but you can get a idea of the heat range. The NGK UR5 is a little colder than the AP25 and I think I like the hotter plug a little better but most run it so I’ll stick with it a little longer. I run both plunges and old ignition at .035 gap no problem. My coils and ignition box was OEM with 90k but worked good. I truly believe the TR6 is better ,it made no ET improvement and I didn’t expect it too.
I did however got distracted after my first pass and left the plug wire off and the car had no noticeable miss but doesn’t run worth a shit in the 1/4 ,that was a abandoned run.
I remembered to try shocking the converter on my 3ed of 4 passes the 60 was a 2.0
I started the day with the chip back to default except the BLM cell and WOT A/F 108 the first pass was the best pass of the day.
3000 rpm 12 boost,11.61@118.3 no Kr 60 ft 1.84
Second pass I added 1.1 timing but abandon after I let the brake off at 3000 and the car just set there
3ed pass with same timing ,
[size=78%]2400 at 6 psi to shock the converter ET 11.94 @116.1 60ft 2.0[/size]4th and final 1.1 timing WOT A/F to 110 ,3000 rpm 12 boost ET 11.63 @117.3 60ft 1.81
Conclusion of the day 3000 @12 psi it’s ET is dead on. So I have a high 10 to low 11 car running 11.6. I’m going to leave the tune as it is making me a 11.6 tuner.
Next turn this 14 second driver into a 11 second driver.
I need to figure how to get the car staged at 3000 rpm boost up 12 -15 before the light has been green for 1.5 to 2.0 seconds. Reaction time has been way down on my priority list, time to move it up.
I can live with the 60 foot blues and no longer see it as a handicap but a blessing.
And I have a new mountain to clime and that is my reaction time.
