So, Brandi had a doctors appointment in Houston today... Corey and Rob and I met with Chris Delgado of D3 engineering and finally got the computers to talk to each other... Chris is also one of the lead guys with ProEFI...
Those that have been around this car know all too well that she will spin the tires at will, even with 3.07 gears and will do this in 5th gear at over 190 mph... Uhm... This is hard to describe, but traction is no longer an issue... With the traction control feature of ProEFI, Brandi does lots of unladylike like things... She burps, farts, coughs, sputters, spits, gurgles, fizzles, tinkles and flat out hauls ass with a train load of umph.... I just thought she accelerated before... The traction control will absolutely give her everything the tires can handle... To the inth... The dial a boost switch has five settings... 1. No traction control... Burnouts, about 8 lbs of boost... 2. 8 lbs of boost with traction control... 3. 14 lbs of boost...roughly 1000 rwhp.. Traction control... 93 octane... 4. 20 lbs of boost, high octane table... C-16 117 octane race fuel... Traction control... 5. 24 lbs of boost, greater than 1500 rwhp C-16 race fuel... Traction control... This traction control will dump waste gates early and messes with the timing to pull power to the point the front and rear wheels match speed... And it does it in nano seconds... The driver doesn't notice it going on other than HTFO... Straight as an arrow and OMG does she rip down the track... Literally break neck acceleration... Come off the gas too quickly now and your thrown hard into the harness as before the tire spin prevented true git up and go... Not anymore... Holy heck in a hand basket... This Girl will flat out haul the mail... I just can't get over the difference... She's loud due to the spitting sputtering belching and farting going on... But don't let her mutterings fool you... If your standing and watching, say buh bye in a frick'in second cause that's all the time you'll have before she's outa sight... Now I need better tires to really figure out what she'll do...
