Ajay, if you ever wanted to do another tuning session we could mess with NLTS too. Might help at the track.

My clutch has a handful of passes left so i am waiting for the END of the season to run when i can limp the car around until i can do a clutch. I really want some low 12s this year though.

How did I not see this until now? I was actually going to ask if you wanted to do another session. I ran last wendsday and my top end sucked. I'm not sure if it's because later I found a boost leak and tighted it down or if the racing caused the leak.

To help clarify, last year I was hitting 111-112 and once 114 in 4th gear, last week I hit 110 and nothing more, every time. Not sure why. I was consistant, but slow. 12.7's 5 times in a row when I was running 12.3's and 12.4's last season on a crappy clutch and bald tires.

So to answer your question, yes, we can tune again whenever you want. I'm not saying it's my tune holding me back, but I bet NLTS will help at the track. I will just have to force myself to get good at using it.

I'm willing to bet your car will easily run a low 12 Turco.

Since I have been sitting around doing nothing fun at night all week I was considering heading up. Not sure if I should run. I have a full tank of gas in my car right now and it's FILTHY from the Kanc crusie (re: donuts in a dirt parking lot)...so I'm not 100% sure at this time. Also have to see what time I leave work.

well you are running fairly low boost. But at 110 you should be running better than 12.7. Were you babying the new tranny

what were your 60fts last year compared to this year?

Wellll...I was babying the new tranny my first 3 or 4 runs, which is funny because those were my fastest runs (12.59 I think was my best). My 60 fts were great, I was getting 1.7's off the line, better than my 1.85's last year.

Also, IIRC my knock light started flashing on a few runs at the very top of 4th gear. Question related to that, does it vary its blinking speed according to the amount of knock, because I swear once I saw it going super fast and once I saw it go kind of slow, but that could just be me, probably is just me

Maybe I should man up and turn the boost up a bit more...

there are two different levels of knock so higher knock it flashes faster then a lower threshold. let me know if you want to do another round of tuning. I think you were only running like 22/23lbs.
