I remember when Pete use to be of of the stick guys and he could drive so well he could perform that feat. Not so sure now.

[QUOTE=Capthuff;1580783613]Thanks guys!!

I'll weigh the car tomorrow at E-Town

The DA by the end of the night was about 300' The Baro was stuck at 29.80

QUOTE]

300 feet DA. I think I've seen that once in all my years of racing in Oregon. That's about 30 years worth......just doesn't happen.

You guys will have to explain this "street" tune.
I'm curious on the weight, and what dyno numbers show if you ever do that. Myself, I think weight vs mph is the only true dyno. But it would be interesting to see what dyno hp it takes to go 122.

I had an 11 flat car in the past. It ran right at 121.

Of course I am interested in all this because my setup isn't all that much different. Wondering now how much that 4000 converter is worth over a 3600.

Street tune is Doug from ECS jumps in the car with his laptop and a wideband connected and goes for a drive...When he comes back, Pete drives to the track and rips off a few low 11 second passes...

Damn Doug...where were you when I came to MIR in December ??

I only needed 0.15 and I was tuned in 85 degree FLA air. You should have been provided with the rental (GARY)

He did just that.

In his first official race/competition (the other night was just a test and tune session) with this car, Pete WON the Corvette Pro 11.50 index class and made it to the semi finals in the GM EFI class against some SERIOUS competition (some of the best/most 'winningest' drag racers that we race with at E-town).
Awesome job today Pete.

Pete, it is a testament to you and ecs for building a package that can take a win in the first event.. Hats off.

I always say us gear jammers could drive an automatic in our sleep...lol

Bs aside, way to go. You should be so proud.

Thanks for the video!

I'm sure you'll get the controller figured out. Once it's all working properly, it's a great system.

I knew I was close on my race weight predictions from the other day:

.... 2-3 more gallons of fuel and the lower end of my range might've been dead on.
