You can see on the graph how hard the TC had to work to keep the run under control. Without TC, that run would not have been possible without having to pedal multiple times. What a time to be alive!

Sorry for my ignorance, but how does the TC function in combination with your presumably loose / non-lockup converter? It seems akin to applying TC while slipping the clutch? I know this is most likely a dumb question but I’m curious on your feedback!

TC works totally independent of the converter. I have front and rear wheel speed sensors and a very secret sauce TC strategy from my tuner. When it senses the rear wheel speed getting out of whack as compared to the front wheel speed, it starts knocking timing and/or boost out of it to catch the two speeds back up. It happens in milliseconds. I can feel when it's on the TC hard like that run in the video.

Thanks! I am roughly familiar with how the aftermarket TC systems work, but assumed that the very fine millisecond adjustments made to the engine control (boost or timing adjustments) may be “absorbed” by the converter… It seems like the very precise and fine adjustments to the engine’s output wouldn’t be 100% transferred to the back tires because of the converter soaking some of it up. I am probably not making much sense!

You are overthinking it no doubt.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTT

DAMN

Son!!


How does that shit hook?? Crazy fast
Thanks man. Good boost ramp, traction control, tires, suspension and the 160lbs ballast in the trunk helps also lol. My tuner is also making adjustments as well. I'm expecting a dip into the 3.7x range soon.

OK, I think this is the last dragy post of the year unless I can find a glory concrete road to run one on :D


Saw you getting on 35 off of 46 a couple of weeks ago. Hit me up if you want to run some time.

I was probably at buck hill car show. Have we met? I don't have any idea who you are or what you drive :D

I have a c6 with intake and axlebacks. You would crush me but spot me some car lengths and we can make it interesting?
