We've talked enough for me to know that! I just couldn't resist!

[QUOTE=B Parker;668574]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[/QUOTE
Don't be a hater... luv you buddy...ps the points still work fine...

Sure seems to be an awful bunch of talented drivers out there that don’t vary a dial more than a couple of hunderths but seem to be able to run within a few thousants at 5-7 mph difference. Wonder how many could do that if all speed sensing divides including driveshaft, diff, trans or wheel speed were disconnected during eliminations. Just my observation

As with the Matty Box, there are a limited number of individuals that have access to the secrets, but I'm sure that the info is available if you happen to be a trusted friend.. Am I saying that those using the Grid system have the ability to cheat??.. ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY.. especially in the Super classes, where it's the same dial every time.. |

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!

Now if it has the ARC Module attached it can use timing retard to save a run by following a rpm trace. That ARC Module or the previous use of that box, within a set period of time can be detected by the tester that you mention. Every DD was given one. But, you can loan them yours if you wish. MSD Part number 89973. I think that people are giving these components a lot more credit than they deserve. Nothing is impossible. With the right amount of money and time I am sure anything can be compromised. We work hard to give NHRA the tools to ensure that our products haven't been modified. Robin

But here is where the water gets muddy Robin. Plimpton innovations has techonolgy out that works with a holley system that acts as a weather station hard wired into your ECU. And no, this will not work with a grid as you need inputs and outputs for this stuff to work. In the simplest terms, you can get a baseline run in different weather conditions and use this new tecnology to add and pull timing and fuel during a run to maintain the same speed as your baseline. In more or less words, you can write your dial with a sharpie marker on your window for the weekend. The people I work with are into the turbo scene on small tires and crap who roll their eyes at us stock and super stockers. But all the sensors they are using to make their high HP cars work on awful tracks are the same stuff guys with EFI could be using in the NHRA lanes. And theres noone to police it. |
