Trying something different this year. I purchased the Et Genie and will be using it on a 10.50 3300lb Chevelle.
Curious to see if anyone has any experience with this type of restrictor plate. Trying to determine a good starting point so I can have some decent data before the first divisional. |

I searched, but was trying to get some more details regarding the Et Genie specifically.
For example a ballpark starting place to slow down maybe 2-3 tenths and are mechanical stops more sensitive to weather changes compared to a typical timed throttle stop that I've always used before. I have two test n tune opportunities before the divisional race. I was done with 90 racing but with the increased purse and now 7 home division races to claim I've decided to jump back in last minute. |

Sorry I can’t help you there I know every car is different I’m a little curious too. maybe someday I will run my other car with a restrictor plate. Currently run it in the 1150 index class by just unhooking the back two barrels
I have however heard good things about the ET Genie

Im definitely excited to try this out and see what I can do. Hopefully the weather allows me to get some good runs in.
10.90 @ 120-23 mph compared to 140-150 is going to be interesting. I'm anticipating a sore neck. |

Believe me I’m on the other side of that and I don’t like chasing somebody running 120 either. My first super street car would barely run 1090s and I did pretty well with that. Personally if my car ran 1050s I would slow it down with timing and then add weight. One year an ihra champion did it all through weight. Something to consider before buying the genie
