Default turbo 4.8 made few passes

Last minute decided to make a trip to the track. been a while since she's come out to play. had issues all night getting off the line still!! falling on its face on launch. way rich off the 2 step. need to find a way to turn meth injection off while on 2 step. longer I hold the 2 step, the worse it gets. I turned the meth start # up a little and did help. running mid 11's last year so disappointed to not even be in the 11's. i'll get it figured out before next trip out. here's a couple in cab views.

What did it run? Looks real close to my passes. No juice off the line and then it boogies.

Put the meth on a 5 pin relay, and when the 2 step is active have it turn on the relay (and power or ground to turn on the meth is on pin 87a of the relay)

run the msd box. brake pedal activated and also have a toggle to completely deactivate it. relay is probably best option. no more trips to track til its fixed. truck has so much left in it, if I can just work few bugs out.

Thats interesting...I let my meth spray on the 2step and its never a problem and I use 2 14gph nozzles. Have you tested the pump voltage before?

I use a 12 and 14gph nozzles. never tested pump voltage. its devils own pump turned all the way up. believe its around 250psi. snow controller start at 10# and full on at 14#. on one of the other runs had 2 step at 3200 and held it for a few seconds to build boost, left on 12# and it was so rich it spit and sputtered til 60'. these 2.** 60' times are getting a little frustrating.

Im not sure how that controller works, but here is a pretty detailed write up with my dealings with my alky control kit https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...w-test-525874/
