That's a lot of first gear. But I guess your trying to get wheel speed with slicks.

But the power that engine cane make is huge.

Is the TB a 1-2 leaver where u could try leaving in second gear?

I believe it is, I sent a note to Carl last week to confirm leaving in 2nd gear is ok.

Why would you want to leave in second? Your clearly not putting any power to it til the back half of the 1/8.....just wondering.

To see what effect is has on building boost sooner with the current tune.

You need to hit it hard out the gate to get it moving.

So you can put the power to it. It is an acceleration competition, not the salt flats. I would love to not have to pull power out on the hit and leave at a much higher rpm for the first second. I could go much quicker if I could.

Yeah, it's a lot of first gear. The rear and trans gears were selected years ago based on a many assumptions. Viking took a look as the last set of videos and had us few pointers.

" The only issue I see is the rear appears to have a little bounce right as it starts to roll out. When the bounce occurs I do not really see the wheel/rim move or bounce with it due to improper shock settings, but I think the bounce is more from the rear tire getting squashed hard. I would argue that you are hitting the tire pretty hard and it looks like you are starting to fold the tire."

We need to adjust tire pressure "increase" and then look at suspension settings.
