Mike it's really pretty simple to use. Once you set a few things up in it your not going into it every run. BP

you have to use the ARC module for the grid to have any advantage. other than that theres nothing in there that i would consider cheating.

If you look in the “approved products” list, the part number for that add on box is specifically prohibited. So unless people are using them and just hiding them somewhere in the car, there’s nothing the Grid can do alone in a carbureted car if you’re trying to achieve what that box can do. EFI on the other hand, you don’t need a grid for “traction control” depending on who’s ecu you are running.

I’m even more antiquated than that in the Nova. I run a 6T, with a “soft touch rev control” plugged in to that, then a 2 step plugged in to that.

Doug isn't a two step an electronic controlled devise. Can't you control starting line leave with them? That's another way to control traction isn't it? Lets ban them too. I don't use one. Just kidding!! BP

Same here, that 6T has been in my car for 30 + trouble free years. I only wish the box full of dead 6ALs in the garage would have been that reliable!

Bob Welcome to the 2020's. How do you take care of the EFI's. Their boxes can do most of everything a grid can do but even more. Ban the 6al box because I never used one!!!! Why don't we all go back to points in our distributors. Most of the people that seem to be against the grid boxes are the ones that don't use them. Or even understand how they work. Don't hate educate. BP
