Wheels up video!

Its not as "up" as I'd like, but there's light between my tire & the pavement.

great start marc!
Did you make any changes that Jesse suggested?
Was that nitrous off the line to get the wheelie going?

Yeah, we the computer is set up to engage the nitrous once all three parameters are met.
1, arm nos
2, 90% TPS
3, let go of transbrake button (TB button is wired into 2 relays, 1 that engages transbrake & 1 that closes when TB button is released)

I took Jesse's advise & turned off the 2 step, and now leave on the converter at WOT, then the bottle!

Thanks Jess!

Re: Wheels up video!

Your camera man is fired, I would have liked to have seen some steadier shots, the car looks/sounds amazing.

I guess w/ the new technique, and the bottle, it shaved 1 full second off the time.

I'll take what I can get.

I agree, its amazing people can't keep a camera steady. Thanks for the props.

great Job Marc! I want to see more light under those wheels the next time ok

Thanks, thats only a 100 shot w/ a plate system. I'm looking into pulling my manifold and sending it to a guy in Fairfeild to have it drilled, tapped & plumbed for a direct port system
