Speaking of consistent ... I've never shifted any computer-controlled car that I've raced. Turn the traction control off, put it in drive, and go. My thinking is that I'll never be quicker than any computer and definitely I won't be more consistent. Even if I picked up a hundreth or two I want the consistency. When we work hard to regulate the water temperature and ice the intake if traction stays our car is deadly consistent on the ETs by not shifting it.

I agree, I was just experimenting with what the previous owner told me. Going up to South Carolina tomorrow and I'll have plenty of chances to make hits Thurs thru Sun. One thing I learned and the ex-owner told me afterwards, it runs best at 160 water temp. I experimented at 170-180 and it did slow a tad. It will be tough keeping it at 160 tho if we get hot lapped, especially w/o an ele water pump. I expected a fuel injected car to run better when its warmer.
