Track results
OK last year: stock prom, K&N and that's all:
14.9-15.1@90-91 MPH with 1 fluke run of 14.71@91 (decent hookup)
This year: ARAP Bin, No cat, frame connectors, boxed LCA, Panhard and reinforced TQ Arm, all with poly bushings:
14.77-14.85@92.5-93.7 MPH (spinning alot)
I picked up almost a full 4 MPH from removing the cat and the ARAP bin!!!!
The track today was horrible, strong head wind and lousy launch pad. It's the second weekend its open and it was drizzling on and off all afternoon so traction was greatly diminished. But I am happy to say that my wheel hop is gone!!!
I am really happy with the increase of MPH from the Cat and Prom. On a better day with a tail wind I will approach 95 MPH!!!That's a huge increase...I will go back in 2 weeks, with a stock bin to do some back to back comparisons.
I also need to lower my shift points, the car was shifting a 5200-5300 RPM way to high for a stock setup, I will try to get it to shift aroung the 4700-4800 range.
Also my TPS% never gets to 100% it's low 90% is that normal or should I be able to get it to 100% at wide open throttle?
Oh and by the way, Craig Moates software pass calculator is pretty accurate...It recorded a 14.71@91mph vs the real time of 14.77@93.7 mph...pretty darn close if you ask me!!!!

This is a curio of MAF 165 $6E (and probably $32/$32B). With SD, the actual percentage is filled in the ALDL stream as well as the voltage.
But, don't worry about it. If you are registering more than 4.0 volts on your TPS, you should be fine. If you are worried about being in "PE" or WOT, you can always adjust the "%TPS to Engage PE" table.

Thanks Glenn,
But I assume that Craigs software knows the actual voltage at idle? That's what I used to adjust my TPS the other day.
