Nice! Looks like its moving along just fine!

Derek Newman in the black twin turbo stick car. Glad to see him back out also.

[redfirepearlgt]

Yeah that was Derek. He was running a soft base tune to start dialing it in.

Mike made a decent pass (tons more in the car for sure). Tested his scramble button and learned some more on those settings on the boost controller. I'll let him share the numbers and details. I'm just an observer.

Thanks for the video Chad. Great hanging out with you and the rest of the guys last night. My car is fixed and ready to race again. I can't wait to make another pass and see what my change did so I can dial in the pid controls on my boost control.
I had a fuse get hot and blow. Replaced it all with a larger fuse holder and gauge wire, shouldn't have an issue now.

Glad it was something minor Mike. 'Izza' was getting a little 'ancy in the pants' when you hadn't shown back up after the pass. Good seeing you and look forward to seeing you at the cruise in Saturday. Maybe I will remember to pick up my chair! LOL!

[NXcoupe]

It's still here from last year. Lol

Nice hit for the initial outing for the season Mike! You get it to stay up on the tire and it'll pick up a good bit as it sits.

.

He has fought a ton of issues. Sure is nice to see him finally get his 9 second pass and actually get to make passes without issues. He sure gives it 100% all the time with that car.

Thanks Greg! Yep, I'm just dialing in boost control right now. First pass was on just 10 psi and it went a 9.8 at 145! Second pass is a long funny story. If I get some time, I'll type it out. But I learned a lot and I'm zeroing in on the boost control. Thanks for the input Chad on the PID controls, it's starting to make a lot of sense to me now. The more I mess with it, the closer my target and actual seem to get. Won't be long now.

[draggin50]

PID??? Im out dated and don't know what it means.

[Rick93coupe]

You adjust the PID's in the software so that the fill and vent solenoids for the boost controller, either add dome pressure or vent that pressure to follow the boost curve you program. They take some time to adjust them, as each combo of parts is different.

Nice pass Mike!

[NXcoupe]

Proportional, Integral, Derivative. It's used in lots of applications. Thanks Rick.

Remember I'm still running a stock F150 converter and stock 6R80. Just want to get as fast as I can as is before I drop coin on a converter and upgrade the trans.

Forgot about the stock converter.

Nice! What was the time and trap?

[Maximus]

Nice hit!!

A lot went on during that pass, but letting off just past the 1k ft mark, it went a 9.56@143. Pass before was full bore throughout the pass and it went 9.80@145 but with less boost. Was hoping for one last pass but it didn't happen.
Both passes 60ft was in the high 1.6 range. Converter is killing me.

Can't be made about that! Nice passes. Sounds like you got some good data as well.

[draggin50]

Sounds promising to say the least. 9.50's on a bad pass would be awesome!

[NXcoupe]

Yeah, lol, I had the chute out before the finish line.
