Amazing how consistent one can be on a throttle stop huh  Congrats on the successful outing. Looks like we will be seeing you in Vegas in a couple of weeks as I am going to pass on going to Phoenix for the National event due to no info. Going to get some info at the PSCA race inistead.

If they only allowed strip style tire cars, the track stays pretty good most of the day.
On the street legal days, when regular street tire cars are running the track makes HUGE swings in traction.
Guessing the Sunday TnT was not similar to the street legals that ran on Saturday.
Tom, Good to read the results!

That's for sure! We're trying that deal on our car and so far we like it. Although the "12-flat" plate goes 11.60's. Oops. But I will say, Brent is a great guy to work with.
It's too bad Infineon won't let you run 2 bracket classes any more as that is why we bought it. Sac will probably do the same this year...Bah humbug!

We were told twice last year that running in 2 SUMMIT ET classes was no longer permitted when trying to buy 2 tech cards. A Summit ET class and a .90 class on the same day is okay, but our wanting to run Pro and Sportsman: No go.

Pro and Trophy is done at EVERY race... with sportsman, you might run into equipment/ET problems..

That was the purpose of getting Brent's plate. No plate for low 10's to run Pro and one plate for low 12's to run Sportsman. Sac allowed it (at lease the last 3 races we tried it at) but the rumor is they will follow Infineon's lead and do the same. I would think the track(s) would want all of the revenue they could get these days...Oh well.

Both of these setups are very interesting. How does it affect jetting? Or is there no change with either of these restrictor plates.

With the plate set up.. there is no need to change the jetting.. The EZ plates come with something like 20 different plates... each of a different size.. to slow you down to your desired ET..

I'm just guessing here.. but maybe because the two classes are called one after the other... 
You call always ask a question at the Infineon forum..

I just use a modified version of the Moroso stop which is basically a bolt to keep the throttle from opening all the way. It works great and has helped me slow down from mid-high Tens to 11.50s to run Street Eliminator resulting in great consistency, round wins and Eliminator Wins. I`m always looking to be even better and have looked at the model that you change plates with but because of my carb, spacer and water jumper hose setup it would`t be easy on my application, However this ET Genie sparks my interest.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them. Car responds much better than the bolt stop. Did you go to their web site?
