Track results with my Limited

[gusszgs]

How long of a burnout were you doing?  I learned from Gary Schatz that you really have to stay in the burnout a few seconds longer than what you think is good to really get the MT's sticky.  Then again track temp and prep makes a difference too.

Jason, the last two weeks I've tried every duration of burnout one could try, especially yesterday. Loooong, medium, just a haze then pull ahead. Nothing worked........ ..ya temps and track prep were garbage. I mean there were only about 10 cars or so. And only running 1 lane.

Jim...any idea what your RPM's were at the traps? Stock cam in that engine? Steve...do you think with that convertor unlocked...and the 26" tire...that the stock cam was out of breath before he hit the traps? If so...will the 28" slick pull the RPM's down in a more useable range? Just thinking out loud here.

As we don't have a trap rpm to look at, or a log to see how the rpm ramp is looking near the traps, it's hard to say.  My gut feeling says a taller tire will leave harder and ramp the boost better off the line and it will make more mph without any slow down.

Looks to me as if he should have plenty for a taller tire.

Steve I totally agree, I'd like to go to 28" slick.I think the 255/60 Mickey is 27".
 I'm not too handy with computers and that's why I've hesitated on the PL. But I'll get one. If I can build my own trans I should be able to remove the ECM
Wilst were talking about the PL............ .I have a Acer Aspire One notebook that was my daughters and it just sits and collects dust now. Would this little guy work for data logging the PL? It has no provision for a cd. How do you load the PL on it?

Download the drivers online

Jim...get your daughter to load the PL software onto a memory stick. It'll plug into the port on your laptop. FT has Bobs PL software on their support site...and Eric likely has it on his too. Or you can download it off those sites directly to your laptop if it is internet capable.

[gusszgs]

Ok good I'll do that.

Just an update on the PL
I downloaded the goodies for it off off Eric's link for windows 7 Looks like I was successful so far.
When I go into the file on my desktop for the PL it lists 6 different drivers.
4 are Adobe (install guide, PL input connections, manual 1.0.0, and SM update procedure) 


The other 2 are Flash PL40 and PLC


My questions are, do these look to be correct? Anything missing here?
Also, I can open the Adobe ones fine but the Flash and PLC have a "pop up" window saying pub could not be verified.
Are you you sure you want to run this software?


Can I run it? I dont have the PL installed in the cars computer yet, was just wondering if I could see all the PLC distplay windows ect...


Sorry guys if these questions are no brainers, but I'm PC challenged. My daughters are no help cause they're Apple freaks now. I'm just an old fart who's used to dwell and timing

You can run it and see the PL window on the computer.  That's how it works.  Once the PL window is open on the computer, you then connect to the car from the PL window by clicking on connect.

Ok thank you Jason

[gusszgs]

One of the drivers is Flash PL40
When I double click on that is has a black background and is asking "enter the com port number" wth is this and what number do I enter? Or does it even matter at this stage? Haven't installed the PL board in the car yet.

It's been a long time since I installed my PL. I would recommend going to the full throttle tech support forum and reading through. You'll need to know the version of Windows that you're running. If I recall correctly, you may need to go and install some drivers manually but like I said, it's been a while.

[gusszgs]

Thanks a lot guys!
I was really showing off to Rich that I figured out how to post a pic

Nice pic. Car looking great. Did you host somewhere?
I got my new phone up and going. Learning curve with this thing compared to android.

I'm glad you are learning power logger. You can teach me when I get one. Not really in the budget currently. Though I got the car to start. Two victories. Just have to find employment.

Trans still shifting? I know you will be in the 11s before spring time. Just have to get it to hook with some boost.
