Still working on the tuning of the convertor, that's a whole different set of tuning. It has all been from the 330' and up where my ET & MPH are coming from right now. So it's all Matt's tuning that has made me quicker/faster. Hope you get some good results today.
PS, need to change your signature now, no more 3.73. :-)

Funny thing is, I had changed it yesterday to read 3.91, but when they did the server restore I lost it and lost a thread I started too. No tune today for me, we plan to try tomorrow as when I got there I discovered we are locked out of the ECM by the Trifecta tune and I didn't know I need to bring my Trifecta cable. Matt said we will try again tomorrow. On the plus side I will have another 210 miles on the gears as its 70 miles each way to him.

If I remember right your old personal best was a 12.7x. If that's right a 0.2 drop without working on the short end is fantastic. You'll pick up another 0.2 getting the first 60' and 200 feet down. You are already cutting a better 60' than I am, so your setup seems to be working better to get around the throttle position issue.

Yes Sir you are correct. Best before was a 12.71, So I am very happy with the results. You and I know where the issues are for that 60' situation. Someday it will be completely figured out and a whole new world of fun will begin. After the season is closed this year I have some 3.91s to go into this heavy weight car to help get it moving off the line for next year. Maybe later this year if the winter is mild. Don't want to throw anything new into the tuning mix right now. This way the results will be all Matt's skill in tuning, which we all see is working great so far. I'm faster now than I ever dreamed I would be. I thank you, Matt and many others when I was ready to give up a few months back to help me keep going.

Ya that was a kick to the you know what when we both realized crap we need to put this back to stock.. I was hoping for that one day off this month, but it's all good we'll get some tuning done and maybe I'll turn a wrench on the shop car.

Thank you Rick.. We just tuned it, you built it. Great combination, awesome guy to work with also. Your knowledge helps in this remote tuning matter!

Oh and yes of course we'll have to put some numbers up with INeedAZ's car. You guys can both have motivation, and we will be PROUD to tune both of your cars.

Well Friday the 13th wasn't the greatest for me at the track. Had a great 60' of 1.66. Just as I went in 2nd gear my nitrous transducer for the bottle heater blew off and I went way rich. A/F went to 10.5 - 10.6. I still went 12.60 @107.88. So I feel it was ready to put up another great ET, That was a better 60' by .05 than I have ever been. So we will see what happens next time out. BTW the shift pattern change was good.
