Well today was a success! I made 3 passes - 2 on fuel and one on spray. The first two fuel passes were pretty sloppy between shifting and my driving lol. To clarify - I just hopped on the highway and drove it to the track in this tune... Never put the coals to it or made it shift hard, and my truck always takes a while to warm up to a new tune. So, with 1.9 60', fuel passes were less than spectacular.

But I did get the chance to finally make one full pull on spray. I ran a single stage with a .110 jet off the controller. After WOT, there is a half second delay and then nitrous starts in at 15% an led ramps to 100% over the next 1.7 seconds... Pretty conservative.

I'm confident that I could have gotten kicked off the track just by bringing nitrous in a little sooner and dropping my 60' down. I'm super happy with the truck and I didn't wanna push it any more today. But here's the slip!

The truck had 5/8 of a tank of fuel, and it was full weight. 8400+ lbs and on 35" toyos at 65/80 psi lol.

I just use the calculator at the top of PSA homepage when your on an actual web view. I put in 8450 for his weight since he said it had quite a bit of fuel in it

Sent from a Cummins plant, driving a Powerstroke, with a TDI on the side!

Guess I need to get off of tap talk and on my computer then. Maybe I'll stop asking so many dang questions. Lol
