Turbo Stockers

Try disconnecting the battery just before making a run. This should put the computer in open loop (learning mode).
I had to do that on one of my turbo cars. If I didn't it would slow up at least 1 to 1.5 tenths no matter what temp air etc.

Art, thanks for the tip. Disconnect pos. and negative sides? We are running a 4:88 gear. shifting at 5800 1st to 2nd and 5800 2nd to 3rd.

Marc ,You can make 11 lbs @ 2800 against a 2 step?
How long does it take to get there?

I like to know also.

How? Heck I don't know!

Like i said, I just started this deal; sounds like I shouldn't be getting that much? I will pay closer attention this weekend. Hope to test on Friday and we have a combo race Saturday where I will try and get as much info for you guys, just tell me what to look for.

I do go to full throttle as soon as i stage to get the boost as high as possible. Do you think it would help to add brake pressure and be able to leave at a higher rpm?

Sounds kinda high for the RPM. I can make 6-7 @ 3500 .The brakes won't hold higher than that. I'm working on a smaller diameter converter right now. I figure it'll take 4000 rpm to get to 10-11 lbs.
You said "stock brakes" . Is that stock vacuum assisted brakes?
