Re: New project

Quick update , got to 13 cars saturday and got tree'd and broke out , but got to 7 cars sunday and went .119 red in the quarters So i got some of my money back . The left lane was tricky for some reason . Alot of .100 plus reds and 60' numbers would swing like .03 for most i talked to . The truck really was trying to print slips . 6.945-6.998 ( i chopped once on the 6.99)

Shift noid was working ok saturday when i got outrun . I had the solinoid tied into the hot side of my S55 relay for the nitrous and then the power daisy chained off the shift noid hot side . This caused a voltage drop when the shifnoid "hit" causing the window switch to drop out and restart . The window switch has a start sequence that shows on and off and cylinder count before it becomes armed . Once powered down it takes a while to be re-armed . I fixed this by tieing the power from the window switch ( low amp draw ) to the Nitrous S55 and running a new power wire to the starter solinoid . The starter solinoid and the Shift noid are non coencidental loads , meaning they wont be drawing amps at the same time . I also put a fresh S55 in for the shifter just to be safe . BAM ! hits everytime . The shifter set up made the truck a tenth quicker . The MSD digital window switch and the auto meter tach read different rpms . The tach is slow . I have been shifting late due to the tach/shift light . I set the shift light 100 above the shift point and use that for something else now . 7.0 index racing this Saturday and maybe 1/8th mile footbrake at sealy sunday for $1K purse .
