    Default The Tin Can is back...

    to cutting 1.54 60's and running 11.30s

    Now to re-learn when to launch, I cut (3) .006 and better lights and one .0005 light in time trials, that's to f'n close, and yep...I was .03 red first round.
    Bought back in and broke out, I had the race easily won too, just didn't get on the binders hard enough, broke out by .0024......

    But I'm still in first place, finals are in 2 weeks.

    I need to control my launch RPMs.
    I get excited in the actual race, I bring up the launch RPMs too much and my triple O green becomes double 0 red.

    I have two step hooked up to a hydraulic brake pressure switch, I'm finally going to try it out in earnest at this Saturday's T&T.

    I am thinking a regular adjustable brake switch on the pedal would be a better way to go. You could actually dial it in timing wise. With the hydraulic it would/could be slightly slower if pedal pressed harder and vice-versa. The bracket would have to be sturdy to keep switch consistent.

    The Hydraulic brake switch gets great reviews, I'll try it as nothing but a way to launch at consistent RPMs, I won't mash the gas to the floor...but maybe I should so it would be the same every time, it would overcome any residual brake pressure....

    Test and Tune FTW

    Since you are consistent non race the hyd switch is functioning fine. The adjustable would give you the ability to adjust for your changes if the changes are consistent. If you are not WOT on 2 step that could be making the difference as well. Should be WOT on 2 step and then make adjustments to 2 step rpm as needed.

    ^^^ I concur.
