Talking another new time tonight

well for those that said the cutouts would make me slower, I wont mention names.,


I knocked off a 10th of a second with them.
from a 14.65 to a 14.51.
one thing I did diffrent than most people I hear, is I drove all week with them uncapped, instead of waiting untill i got to the track.

I got cutouts too and I've heard ppl say this hurts more than helps. I knew they would help somewhat. Thanks for giving me something reliable to go by. It sounds awesome to.

I would say more in the mid range than anything.
the stall makes it hard to say anything about the bottom, and the truck just sits down after it shifts into third.
1st pulls hard and second pulls hard, but most people catch me in third

Did you measure this difference while at the track or are you using a time from another day as an example?

I have not put any thought into a cutout so I am not saying it works or doesn't I just want to make sure you know better than to try to use ETs form a different day or even the same day but with different conditions. The DA in one evening can change drastically so to measure any kind of difference with any accuaracy you should be checking the DA for each run you made and make sure the difference is not due to changes in DA.

few things. what size cutouts did you use? (this is quite often the problem)
one cutout or two?
where did it improve your numbers the most? mph, 60',????
did you make any passes with it capped?
