turned it up alittle should be a good weekend.
this is with the paxton novi blower. we had some issues with the previous tuning software so now i'm sporting a chipmaster revolution chip. so not only did we get more peak power but all the underlying power is really up.
i'll try to get a dyno graph up in the next few days.

11.80 @ 115 MPH
1.81 60 ft
He says he spun bad off the line & pegged the boost gage on the run.
More to follow as he checks in.
For what its worth, he wanted me to mention that the tech crew were checking for stuff in the
bed (however you want to call it). They said that at the last event in Martin, MI a truck's
tailgate dropped on the launch & everything he had in the bed ended up on the starting line.
Just an FYI.

Yep, the Cents just may prove themselves soon .
What you lose in peak low rpm torque you make up in unmatched high rpm power. In theory, it was hard to say how well they would work. You need the torque to get the weight moving, and good 60fts equal good ETs. BUT, with our aerodynamics (or lack thereof), we fight the end of the track, and that's where the cents power is best. So you lose a little down low, but pickup a lot up top. Obviously Rob just proved that having more up top still makes the trucks ET great.
I've only just begun tuning mine. I have been playing with it all morning, trying to get the fuel trims just right. It's a REAL project tuning for injectors like mine
. But it's getting there. After I got the fuel trims at idle decent, I cracked the throttle once about half way and it blew the intake tube off. Yep, it's gonna be a wild ride...
