Last run of the night was a 13.9 @ 110 mph.
I also lost my bet with Bill for fastest Trap speed for the night between the two of us!
Those wondering why my ET suck, without getting too much in depth... I'm not getting into boost until the 330+ mark, go through 2nd+3rd gear in 700 feet and run out of gears before the traps so I coast the last 200+ feet.
The last run of the night I was at redline in 3rd gear for the last 330 feet (yes I'm stupid) and pulled my A/C belt off the pulley's!
Luckily I had 4 people with me on that last run; (I always run with my pit-crew)
so Dusty and Henry got out at the end of the track , pulled the A/C belt off and helped me put it back on when we got back to the pits.

I really wish you had run a lot better, I'd like to see you wrinkle out a few things and give me a run
and don't forget who held the flashlight!!

Talked to Rick and he thinks I need to contact HPT and get them to upgrade my account to a 3 bar style. Right now I'm going down the track and my truck thinks it's running with 4.10's and it's shifting the truck accordingly. With 4.10's I shift out of 3rd @105mph. With 3.42's I should be shifting into 4th at around 120mph or so.
Under WOT I can't shift into 4th so in I either just coast the last 200 feet (those runs I trapped at 105-106mph) or go half throttle at the top of 3rd to let it shift into 4th. Looking at my logs it takes 1.5 seconds to do that transition
(when I do however I trap 110mph).Problem with that, other than the time it takes to shift into 4th is I loose boost.
I just noticed in my logs that I was in full boost for only 4.5 seconds of my run...

I swapped out my 4.10's for 3.42's last Tuesday. When I tried changing the tune HPT said I wasn't licensed for my own truck even though I used to be!

Julien all I know is that thing runs hard on the top end. The last pass we made I looked back and I was way ahead of you and I looked back a fraction of a second later and you had closed the gap. Once you get your truck running right look out!

Looked over my logs again tonight and noticed that I was having problems shifting into 3rd...not 4th.
I'm all screwed up!!
