New 1/4 Time with TC/Trans upgrades

I went to the track this afternoon to see how the new TC/Trans upgrade would do. First time I have ever ran a WOT 1/4 in 4WD or launched over 15psi of boost. I made a number of runs trying to figure out exactly what I was doing with launch boost and lockup button. Not the best day for racing, 97*, high humidity and a head wind. OK all the excuses are out of the way.

Stock truck w/315s last Sept.

60' 2.428
330 6.898
1/8 10.730 @ 64.34mph
1000 14.043
1/4 16.818 @ 81.00pmh

With Air Intake, Banks Exhaust, Juice/Attitude 100hp & 315s in March.

60' 2.287
330 6.446
1/8 9.995 @ 69.50mph
1000 13.047
1/4 15.657 @ 85.58

Same as above except for TC/Trans upgrade.

60' 2.005
330 5.696
1/8 9.271 @ 75.02mph
1000 12.138
1/4 14.638 @ 89.83mph

TC and Transmission upgrade makes it possible to launch with 20psi boost in 4wd. Took over 1 second off my best time with the exact same mods. I am pretty sure I will do better with a little more practice in 4wd. Still a long way off from my goal of low 13s, but a BIG step in the right direction.

Thanks Michael.
