the worst part in D/R and being fasted on the board is...being last to run in the lane..
all the radial cars ahead of you take off all the good rubber....
CONGRATULATIONS..
did you end up slowly dailing it in/on sooner in the run.?
.or waiting longer before turning it all in as the day went on?
cheapst.
We had a test hit Fri and it blew the tires off. First QF on Fri afternoon, Chad had a brain fart and forgot to arm the nitrous. They let everyone make a time run Fri after QF and it blew the tires off. Sat I took a very different approach and it went a 5.21 with a 1.42 short time on QF2. I didn't touch it for the last QF and it repeated, with another .21 and a 1.41 short time. First round, I just touched it a little and it went 5.18, with still a 1.41 short time. Next run was a 5.14 and then it went .04 in the final. I picked it up nearly 2/10ths, but picked up only 5/100ths in 60 ft. This track was all about rolling it out and then pouring on the power. I never changed the nitrous power, or any of the percentage on the progressive, just changed how I applied the power and moved timing around. The EFI is fantastic for this. Just a few keystrokes on the laptop and you are done.
As far as how the new Holley compares to FAST and Big-Stuff3, there is none. The Holley blows them away. I barely touched the car after every round and it responded to every change and did exactly what I thought it SHOULD, with the changes I made.
The track would likely have taken a lot more in the final and we could have easily gone deep in the 4s...but, we were the only ones getting down and everyone knew it, so no need to take a chance and give it away, so I played it safe. I thought with the changes I made before the final, that we should go a 5.06-5.08 and if they outran us, oh well. Matt Bell did make his best run of the weekend, at a 5.14, but Chad left with him and it was all over.
