Default Went to track

Went to the local track tonight. Ran ****ty times in ttc mode. Long story short my pressure tank is crap, so i was only boosting 10psi. Even though i wasnt impressed with my times 14.2 @ 105/106 mph 60 @ 2.4x i managed to get one of these.

Yeah the lag of the ttc mod is pretty bad. If i only had $ to get a higher stall i would love to stay ttc.

Well if your planning on running the auto transmission with a stock converter its going to be laggy until its starts boosting because you will be launching at about 2.5k rpm. If you get a high stall converter to lets say 3k-3.5k rpm then ttc would be nice. Or if you are manual ttc is also good because you can launch at whatever rpm youd like. Others have changed their differential to different gearing and they like it in ttc because the gears are shorter.

Yeah me too just got tired of asking so i went by myself. Honestly if seq. mode was running correctly i wouldve expected to be a least a second faster, but 10psi on ttc and stock converter, im not going to complain. I couldnt boost any higher because my pressure tank is trash.
