I agree with this dude. Time is ticking between shifts - log the runs (might be tricky finding time shifting with patch though since the TPS remains 100%)

Well the NLTS is set at 1000rpms, I'd like to change it to 500 or so, as it seemed to lag somewhat.
Either way, next time I go to the track, Jestr will have perfected my tune!

I ran a 7.87 @ 87mph with a 1.72 60ft. in my VIII with a tbe, intake, 272's, 10.5 hotside, 02, ebc set at 22psi, and twin disk. Not sure what it would've ran in the 1/4 though. Just try shifting faster and getting your 60ft. down.

as a rule of thumb you can typically take your 1/8th mile mph and add 25 to see what you'd run in the 1/4 IF you don't have knock or miss a gear etc..

so your 87mph in the 1/8th would be ~112mph in the 1/4 most likely.

my 1/8th is 92-93mph and I've gone 117 in the 1/4 with the 20g setup on 93 octane for reference. (11.78 et)

I never was able to take my car to the 1/4 track, but I always figured the car had 110-112mph in it with good driving.
