Time slip from a drag strip (I'm one to talk; we're takin' ours out for a test 'n' tune on a deserted stretch of road TODAY to check boost numbers and practice launches, but still no time slip from a real drag strip.)

Let us know.... :happy1:
AND, GOOD LUCK. Wish US luck!!!!:prayer:

So... progress report:

We DID take it out on a deserted road and launched it three times.

1st ever launch; 2,000 rpm stall.... fairly strong initial launch, but as soon as the car moved a car-length, it went into a mild bog (no boost) and took a while to recover. Grade D+.

2nd launch, same rpm stall, same results. Grade D+.

3d launch: Brakes holding nicely for a 3,000 rpm stall.

WOW!!! :blob:

What a difference!!! REALLY strong initial launch (probably a 1.56 60-footer, or someething like that,) and ZERO BOG.... with 10 pounds of boost pulling strongly thru 1st and 2nd gear.

I think we found its sweet spot; 3,000 rpm launches! Some wheelspin, but not much, on untreated asphalt.

Currently adjusting the waste gate for more boost (set on 10 psi, right noiw; want to try 15.)

More to come...

Thanks for listening.:happy1:
