Throttle stop time
Sc dragster electric stop turning it on at .100, how fast can you turn it on before it effects reaction time?

Re: Throttle stop time
Following. I turn on at .05 and shift at .05 in Super Street and I’ve wondered the same thing.

Re: Throttle stop time
A lot depends on how high you leave, if you're on a chip or converter, hardtail or suspended, and gearing. Test, test, test.

Fwiw max speed TS leave 5k, hard tail 4:30 and I just tickle the stage bulb. 1 thing I don’t like about the electric TS is you can’t adjust the on off speed. I gotta imagine that make a difference how soon you can turn it on. Last edited by J&S Racing; 11-07-2020 at 10:34 AM. Reason: Add info |

Electric is my preference although I do have CO2 on the dragster, with no flow control valves. I didn’t play around with turning the throttle stop on at various increments, but I did have trouble on the tree turning it on at .010 so I went to 0.100 and it was good.

Re: Throttle stop time
[QUOTE=Lenny5160;627477]My personal opinion is that the difference there is far overblown.
This may be true with a under carb style stop but the Max speed is a different animal. |

In a typical baseplate application, especially with most people coming off the stop in high gear, I wouldn't hesitate to use an electric stop.
