>How about your 1/4 times and speeds ??
Hi, Bill
Best I could do were a couple of 15.3 runs. That headwind was murder ...
never ran into something like that before. Temp. and humidity were great
at 48-50F and 18%. An Indy Ram who ran a pb of 14.49 last weekend at
this track was 0.5 sec. slower yesterday and running the same trap
speed as I was.
1/8 time and mph were off by about 2/10s and .5 mph on the average.
1/4 traps were 85-86 mph ... off about 5 mph on the average. Also,
on those two 15.3 runs, I had shift problems (1-2 on one; 2-3 on the
other) and had to let off a bit twice. This usually costs me about
2/10s in the quarter. I was looking at two of the runs that
I recorded on the scanner. I noticed that the TPS was putting out
4.7 and 4.9 volts no matter what the throttle position was at (closed,
WOT, or inbetween). I do have the ability with the scanner to reset
the minimum TPS voltage output ... will have to investigate to see if the
connections are okay or the TPS is toast.

Thanks for the tip. If I could nail down the problem with the shifts
(started after the Transgo kit install with manual shifting at WOT only)
I'd try it that high.
Man, I would be tickled pink to run a 14.6!!! Have to be satisfied for
now with a 0.507 reaction time.
Will post as info. comes in.
