Default WOW, maybe 4.8's dont suck, another gtech screen shot

got some new gtech runs with this lowly 4.8. i took off 108lbs of unneeded weight and have about 60lbs less fuel that before. the first run is from the other day bone stock full weight, the next 3 runs are from tonight. i practiced my launch too, turns out auto4 works best and brake staling it to about 1500 is the quickest, a higher brake stall was slower.

1st run DA was 684feet

2-4 runs DA were 850feet

i have no idea what it weighs, that is the stated curb weight. the weight that i enter doesn't effect the ET but it does make the hp and tq read low. thats ok with me.

got another one for ya, this is a screen of g force vs time, you can see both shifts clearly. if the shift points were correct you wouldn't be able to see the loss of RWTQ, when i can adjust that it should get a litte quicker.

...so that should mean that it weighs more and is slower because it has skid plates and heavier jounce bumpers

or maybe I just missed the sarcasm
