Now there is even more control with the PN 7761 module for the Power Grid System Controller. This module sets rpm limits based on slew rate (rpm acceleration) or based on time since launch. All of this is programmed seamlessly in MSD View.

The ARC module stands for Advanced RPM Control, it basically allows your race car to remain consistent, pass after pass, controlling your engines rpm curve during a pass. This helps you get down the track quicker and far more consistent. By using the MSD View software we can control the rpm down to a hundredth of a second and control the driveshaft speed for maximum traction. We can also pull out timing for a split second should we encounter tire slip. Set 3 different timing Retard curves and a Rev Limit Curve to control wheelspin."


Nice video explaining the system here:


Basically, it appears you set the driveshaft rpm curve in the Grid for a given ET, dial in and like magic you run within a hundreth of your dial in.

Dont feel bad. I had to look that up too. I had no idea what the ARC module did. I
guess I am old school. If I cant win without electronics or cheating then I dont get to. My deal is to cut a light and run the dial. I work real hard to do that. I am not a "hitter" but I do go some rounds and have finshed top 10 in the division 2 out of the past 4 seasons. I also had a divisional win in 22. Personally I dont think there is many out there cheating.
