I'm gonna see if Sal
can change the kickdown to a little lower MPH. That would help.
Jim did for me on one of my tunes, shouldn't be a problem...finding the sweetspot is the question. One reason I think I may look into a laptop-updater.

I did finally figure out that if you don't slow down, you don't kick down
:cackle: Ah, the secret of racing. "Go as fast as you can and when something gets in your way, turn"

Surely they see that 5,000 brick barreling
up on top of them in every corner
Hehe, I've run into that too... I remember I was told "don't get too close behind the smaller cars until you're in a passing zone, you scare them" at Pocono South. lol.

Awesome run vid.

Great video!I have one of those to only driven on sundays rite?Rite now my truck is residing in NV since that is were all the orr events are.But my 'other' car wis getting sorted out and turning 1.30 at hallett.Will be doing the prelude event this coming weekend and hope to get to the 1.27 'which is fighting trim'during the honda event.Rite now there are only 25 entries and we get to run hallett both directions[no not at the same time]one direction in the am and opposite in the afternoon.
After this last test and tune I did I felt the pain of not running p/s and the g's the car pulls in the turns.Neck muscles are sore from the 7lbs helment even with the 'horse collar' that I wear!
PS GREAT driving Cliff!Just goes to show what a truck can do when the driver has their ***** together!!stan

Thanks Stan ... A lot of the handling I owe to your pioneer work! If you hang
around Hallet, have you ever run into a "super-size" guy named Dell? He's
the instructor that started me down the path to the dark side ...

Good Luck this season, bud ... I think I need some stiffer than 1200 springs!

Still cogitating that IRS too ...

Simply awesome Cliff!

Watching video like that makes me miss the handling of the Lightning.
