Finally finished the tune. Same issue as last time, no traction, so no numbers, but my budget fuel system worked like a charm. I have a video, and you can see the tire smoke on the dyno. It makes power so abruptly that not even a pull in 5th gear worked. At 2700 rpm it is seeing 11.47PSI. Steve thinks its in the 600 range but wants me to come back with slicks.

What is the deal with the traction esse? You aren't making hazing numbers, so unless your tires suck, his dyno needs some attention.

I've said it a few dozen times now, my tires suck. The way it makes power doesn't help either

Plus the rollers on Steve's dyno no longer have the cross hatch that help the tires bite. They are worn almost flat.

Sounds pretty pointless. :huh:

He was able to make a 5th gear pull on the Cobra with my street tires spinning and they're a pretty hard tire. Guy is going to borrow my slicks the next time he goes so they can get a good pull.

It wasn't an issue with the NT05's or the Drag Radials, but now I have some 500TW tires that I will remove eventually. He wants slicks because of the shock to the tires.

He starts the pull at 2k, and by 2700 it's already 11.47psi. Power is essentially instant.

Try dropping the psi to like 12?
