No 2-step still have issues, but Jason at Lingenfelter is sending me a 2 stage 2-step to test with torque reduction for a no lift shift. Got to fix those sissy shifts.

Yes Bud it is the first trip into the 11's for Pumpkin. But not the last, I need another 4/10th's to be Top Dog in the sand box.

Keep chipping away at it. Seems like you guys are going every week. It's great to see.

Going to make a few test pass's with some electronics, but that's it till September. Three big cruise events coming up and Colleen will not be a happy camper if I break Pumpkin before then. Happy wife, happy life.

Way to go Merc, 11's is impressive.
Weather permitting, we'll be at the track for the first time this Friday.
Any tips for a rookie?

A6 or M6? Dr's or street tires?

M6 supercharged, Pirelli PZero 305's on rear.

1. TC off

2. P Zeros work best when hot so heat them up good. Pressure between 22-26 lbs. Front tires at max pressure rating.

3. Start the launch at 2K and work your way up till you find the sweet spot. Might have to slide clutch a touch.

4. I also remove engine cover and jump wire the fan to run all the time to help with heat soak. Relay K613 I think, but it tells on fuse box cover which one is the fan relay. I'll take a pic of how I jump a bit later.

Good Luck.

Here you go with the fan trick pic'c. Relay K613 (Cool Fan). Run it the whole time your there with the hood open between runs. Take note of relay orientation so you put it back correctly when your done for the day. Can also pull mini relay #40 and #43 to totatly disable all the nanny stuff if you want. I started doing that as well after I put the the line lock in. Stops the DIC light show after you do a line lock burn out. Nanny stuff does not like line lock burn outs even if there turned off.

[Merc]

These are the two to pull to disable all the nanny stuff.

Awesome stuff Merc, thanks for the help.
