I'm finally picking up my car from my tuners! We finished up the wide open pulls on Sunday, we found out that my no hot start problem was that my computer was shot and had to get a new A9L in order to finish the tune. Turns out the computer was getting a 5 volt reading from the TPS all the time. It just told itself that there was no sensor and would turn on the "lugging timer" and the data logging showed it going lean and then pig rich two seconds after I went WOT. The computer also thought the car was in -30 degree tempuratures, so that fixed my hot start problem. I'm pumped to feel the difference and am racing on Friday. Hopin to dip into the 12's. Went [email protected] with the stock tune and injectors running 14.5-15.0:1 A/F ratio. The new mods are the new tune with 30 pounders. I'm also going to be running skinny's up front so I'm hoping that will help my time's as well, and now having a second gear that doesn't pop out should help too. I'm so pumped to race on Friday! I'll post up my times after I run!
 
What kinda numbers did she put down?
My tuner only does street tunes. He lives in an area where a few WOT runs through 2nd and 3rd doesn't really bother anyone.
running just the g-force tires? nice
Noooo way, I got skinny's for the front and old SSP wheels with Firestone slicks on the back.
tune blah blah, i want pics of the damn car at the track :D
Don't you worry! Its going to be me an a bunch of people I know racin so I'm sure there will be plenty of pics taken!

Glad you got it fix, Who did the work?
My buddy's next door neighbor did the tune. He used to work for SLP and helped develop the 575hp package for the Termi's. He really knows his stuff. Its nice that I was able to be involved with the tune and understand how the F/I stuff works! I learned alot from him so far.
That's great news. 12's are coming after the tune. If you found that much stuff wrong should be golden come Friday!! Good luck and post up!
Thanks! I'm hoping so, if it ran 13.0 with the computer running off only a mass air signal and no tps I'm assuming it will run alot better with everything we did.
 
Teaser. Too bad I don't have two draglites for the back. This car looks way better with black wheels IMO.
