You picked up a little if so. considering conditions etc compared to your previous times. IIRC

Yes, this was with the MSD. The plan was to get it dialed in with nothing left on the table and then swap to my IM and see what happens. But I never got the MSD dialed in to my standard of fairness so I didn't do the swap.

I will say that it leaves soft and my 1/8 isn't all that impressive so far. To be fair though I have no data for this kind of weather to compare it to. My gut feeling is that the MSD would be a tick faster mph wise in the 1/4 but the ET's would be pretty close. The same as usual. It will front half harder with my stuff and back half harder with the MSD. I am still only gaining 24mph on the back half. When I get home I will plan a night to get to the track and do a back to back.

I never seen any weird traction control problems while tc was turned off. Sometimes during a sharp turn and under acceleration I will see the stabilitrac light flash and it cuts power though.

They were letting TnT happen yesterday. Not sure about today. I would assume so though. Lots of guys were not in the classes and were just having fun.

Dang B, that "hell yeah" when I lost sounded a little harsh. LOL. It was a hell of a race. Jerry chopped me down at the tree. I just couldn't catch him. Do you know if there are any other vids of any of my runs that day?

It's all good man. I was actually more excited than you after the stripe for Jerry. He seemed so disappointed about the track and how the car was running all day I never saw him coming. LOL. He put it on my though. I was really happy to see him move on. I didn't realize how bad he got me off the line till I watched the video. Over and over and over and over.

Has the MSD out performed the ported IM/TB yet?

I will say that with my current combo the ported MSD should be faster by a mph or so and possibly a tenth quicker in the 1/4. I do think my ported IM would out mph, 60ft and ET the ported MSD in the 1/8 and could be enough to almost match the ET in the 1/4. With how loose my converter is I need the top end shift extension of the ported MSD to mph on the top end. On the stock converter I am still going to lean towards the ported stocker being faster due to the tq gains over the ported MSD.

I didn't swap them at the Fest for a couple of reasons. I didn't have time to get all of my shift points and converter lock up dialed in for the ported MSD to make it a fair comparison. The drop in rpm from 2nd to 3rd was putting the MSD in a crappy spot for tq which was hurting the overall performance on the track. The ported stocker hits hard in that area and pulls right through the rpm drop. I also built a custom exhaust that is causing some of the ported MSD's perceived gains at this moment. I didn't get to run my ported stocker with the exhaust mods. The street logs I did on the ported stocker showed that there were top end gains made for sure.

My buddy and I are going to rent the track soon so I will have the time to get both combo's dialed in for a fair and impartial comparison between the two with them both being dialed in. So more to come on that side.
