Default Suggestion for FTL

Can we add tranny type to the FTL? I think that makes just as much difference as gearing and tires.

I apologize if this is a repost - I thought I remember reading something about this before but I can't find the thread.

I added a trans column. Is that what you mean? I'll change it as we add/update.

Yep! I'd like to see who is running 60E vs 80E vs whatever else. Thanks Dewey!

Could we maybe add a density altitude section too? That really helps for comparissions sake.

is there an equation for conversion that NHRA uses? AFAIK NHRA just lists tracks with their conversion add/deduct.

Yes there's a conversion to correct to sea level, but it gets tricky when you have FI and N2O.

Oh yeah, a weight column would be nice too.

I have a hard enough time getting gears and TCC sizes out of them...get their weight too? But it is a good idea, I might kill the intake/exhaust thing.

You can already guess weight pretty close from the drivetrain and style columns.....
