Hey Mike,

I can't remember specifically talking about this with you but do you by default turn off the boost dump feature for Lightnings? For my 2003 Lightning, which you've tuned a few times and I specifically have a "race" tune (I am the guy with the SCT6600 chip that we had the tuning/cable position issues with recently). I was wondering if that is turned off in my tune or if I should do the bypass for it. I race about every weekend during season and have not had it happen to me yet after a burnout so was thinking maybe it is already turned off. However, it would suck to lose in elimination rounds b/c she dumped boost on me and I hadn't taken care of this simple item! Thanks.

 

Call TP directly, it's the best and most guaranteed way to get a response.

 

Just pull the plug off the boost dump solenoid when you are at the track.
Not an elegant solution but it cannot dump boost after a burnout then.

 

Hi SS,

Yes, I remember your situation well!

And yes, in our Lightning & factory-supercharged Harley & Cobra tunes, we *always* turn the boost dump off, so there is no need for any kind of boost bypass kit or to unplug that solenoid, etc - we simply shut it off in the PCM, so it's always gone, no problem!

 

woo hoo! thanks, mike, you are da man! good, first T&T of the season is tomorrow. hope you & Anita can make it down to the Motor Mile Dragway (Radford) some time this year... bring the lightning and cobra
