Well we are going in the right direction. We struggled in Q1 & Q2 this weekend at Topeka came back and we just wanted to burn it all lol.We Look at the racepak after Q2 and the tune up is a mess. we just keep going around in circles. So we decided we had no choice but to put in Sonoma E1 Holley program in and just adjust the map for the weather. Go up to make are run I'm watching factory shootout cars and in the right lane they are blowing the tires off. We are the first car out in the right lane not good place to be. So I get in the car thinking I don't have a chance. I got to go 6 hundreds better than my Q2 pass to get in. I think if I leave high I'm not moving two feet. I leave at 6300 witch is pretty low. I let the clutch out and it gone .983 in 60. Before I know it the shift light is on pretty fast it gets to 10000 in first gear .995 of a second. It moves around a little in the middle of the track I just touch the chip in third gear 4th and 5th I do a good job 10500 in both. Drives into to the chip 6.400 seconds into the run witch is perfect. 6.668 205.88 pretty good we are racing on Sunday.
Sunday I totally f---ked up everything but cutting a .003 light. But I'm really happy about the weekend and I will not make this mistake again.

You are the only reason I try to keep up with Pro Stock anymore. Such a shame to see the Chevy Show every time you turn the NHRA crap fest on. Hang in there Alan , You will get it figured out. Love to see a win light for you in the future. You have a fan right here !!!

That's awesome, you guys are at the top of the class like Top Gun, fighting for the top spot.....The performance achieved by you is incredible. Very few people are in that realm....Keep up the good work. Keep plugging away at it....
I like how electronics make it a lot easier, if you are logging your efi programs with the results, to go back to a tune you know works. You can get lost in there over thinking things for sure.
Love the in car blow-by-blow report!!

I would love to be able to cut .00+ lights consistently instead of cutting -.001 to -.010

I would love to be able to cut any light with an .0 in front of it. Most of mine are triple digits. , Just call me Mr, Duck
