Well hopefully next week. I'm off Sunday Monday and Tuesday. Looks like were going to have to make a trip to the dealer and get it reflashed to stock and start from scratch. I called Rico today and left a voicemail to call me back today and I never got a call. lol

Also did you get the email I sent earlier? Bring some info to the table of a future project

Car ran 13.1@110 with a 2.05 60'. A bit disappointed in the ET to be honest. Just seemed to fall down a bit between shifts (full throttle shifting). Car picked up ridiculous mph the last half of the track, 25 mph last eighth, 14 mph the last 320'. Thinking it is something in the Trifecta tune. Still a halfway decent time, but should've gone quicker.

Thats not to bad for no bolt ons Mark. Pretty good 60 ft for our cars. Did you try the NLS feature ? What rpm were you shifting at ?

Ha Ha I ran Trifecta for 2 years until I got tuned by BYT. World of difference. Working on learning HPT with a little help from Nick (BYT) and the forum. Trifecta is a good safe tune.

I have been "NLSing" for about 15 years now, lol. I think when we asked Vince to do the progressive tune (to save the clutch, not sure what he calls it), it has killed the ET. It felt like it was dropping boost between shifts. I shifted every gear flat to the floor. 13.3-13.1, mph between 109-110, 60' between 2.0-2.2.

What I found really odd is the car picked up 14 mph the last 320', 25 the last eighth. The trap speed is very deceiving considering the rest of the pass. If the tune was "fixed" (I am the one who asked for it, not blaming Vince) I think the car would have easily gone 12.7-12.8. On the stock tune the car does not drop boost between shifts.

2.05 60'
5.64 330'
8.53 1/8 @ 85.45 mph
11.02 1000' @ 96.32 mph
13.10 1/4 @ 110.16 mph

I was shifting between 5500-5900, tried different rpm each run, didn't make much of a difference. Somehow the rev limiter got set at stock, so I couldn't shift much higher than that. I varied launching, best results came from leaving at about 3500 at half throttle. Tried to slip the clutch, car told me to **** off.

if you need a clutch i install them for much cheaper than elsewhere... and those are pretty good times for street tires. a stronger clutch and holding boost between shift would def help ur et out alot. Mongorat take it slow with hptuners and things will progress very quickly. If you need help let me know and I'll give advice and point you in the right direction.

OK Thanks. Im on full E85 and its running unreal to the point that we had to dial in some torque management. I havnt been able to do any track testing because of the weather and the swapmeet schedule. The meets are over so hopefully I can get the car out starting with Beaver run tomorrow which I allready paid for so Im going rain or shine

We can set the launch control limiter now in the trifecta tuning software. Vince added that feature a couple of months ago
