Got my exhaust done the other day and it sounds rowdy as hell.

I also managed to get in a couple test passes. Only one was good, the first one. Would have been a 10.9x if I could've got it into 4th gear. Right lane.

Elevation is really high here (29ft haha)

I learned a few things on that pass, like at that power level it will not shift into 4th. I was on the rev limiter for 300ft+ at that top speed. I think wiring in a manual tq converter lock will do the trick, then I shouldn't run out of gear in 3rd. I should be able to lock it around 100mph and get more speed out of 3rd gear.

Hopefully this Friday helps me get the tune dialed and I have solid results. I'm not really trying to go faster tho.

So here's a couple of the latest issues. I'm chasing shifting gremlins and it's messing up my ability to go down the track. But it launches pretty good.

Oh, and I bought a GoPro Hero. The new basic one is $199 and they do 1080p & 1440p. If you don't care about having 4k video, these are a good option for the price.

Yep and they have to wait. My focus right now is making what I've got work. TT Eric is working on some changes to my VE maps and I need to figure out what I am gonna do for boost control and what I need to do to get this thing shifting like it needs to.
