SM looks at timing retard once every 1.4 seconds. Pm looks at it about 24 times per second.

Knock alarm may look at knock counts instead of timing retard and has no filtering applied

Thanks so much for the explanation. :)

Another thing. When I hit recall on the SM...it showed 0 KR...so why did PL pick it up...and not my SM? Not complaining... just curious. Oh...and I saw one green light come on on the knock gauge.

Steve, I need your advice on this. PL picked up 1.2 KR going through the 1/8th mile trap. Should I pull 3rd gear timing...or add 3rd gear fuel...or both?

Steve...PL is showing me letting out of it at 5600...which is likely 1 second after going through the traps. 1/4 is showing me coast through it at 11.8 at 83 mph.

Steve...a couple other things. This is the governor from Norbs' old 200. He lightened it to shift higher. Another thing Dusty mentioned about AC convertors is that they couple better with higher RPM's...so I left Norb's governor in.

Jason...the low gear fueling is at 113...which means I pulled 11.7 percent fuel out of it.

I ran the slip at 28 percent. I follow Dusty Bradfords posts like a hawk. He says convertors don't fully couple till the 1/4 mark...or well into the run...if I read his post correct. When I use to run the 1/4 the car would consistently run 11.5 at 121...and the slip checked in at 10 percent...so I believe what Dusty is saying about fully coupling. He could likely build a convertor that would fully couple at the 1/8th...instead of the 1/4. As I'm putting more HP to it...the MPH is rising...so it doesn't appear as if I'm 'blowing through it' as of yet. I'll have the car out again on the Thanksgiving weekend next month. Lets see what the MPH is with 2 pounds of boost added. I'm expecting 103.X. What do you think Steve?

Hang on Jason...and I'll go out and check the SM for low gear fuel...back in 5.

Man you a layin it down . Mph looks great. A few degrees cooler and you're gonna have a 6 sec slip. Nice work.

I notice the 1-2 shift is several hundred rpm less than than the 2-3 shift(5160 vs 5775). Is this planned? I do like that I doesn't make the shift to 4th.
How tall are your rear tires? I am assuming you are using stock 3.42 gears.

This is where I'd like to be. Great you are already there. I have a pattern to follow.

Good eye. The track had a big oil down...and it broke loose on the 2-3 shift. At that point it was point and shoot...as I was sawing on the steering wheel and pointing it to the middle of the traps. Rear tires are 28"...with the 3.42 gears.

Steve...here's a comparison to my quickest run of 6.90 at 101.58. That run was with 28 PSI on a 1.61 launch. Last nites run was only 23 PSI...on a 1.73 short time. Had the car of launched harder I may have eclipsed my best ET. The changes that were made over the winter was I added a FMIC, switched from alky to race gas...and had the heads extensively reworked. I'm betting the heads are giving me the biggest improvement. The bottom line is I'll blow my quickest ET and MPH out of the water with boost and high gear fuel thrown at it.

What % slip do you compute at the line? Pretty quick!

Steve...if you're referring to convertor slip, I don't think there's a calculator for 1/8th mile...unless you know of one?
