Bac , I went and looked for that post I wrote on training trans . Couldnt find it either . It was damn good too . Wanted to just copy and drop it hear .
I took a long time writing that one .
Ive done relearns many times . Sometimes I would relearn before leaving for the track and it would be good but not at it's best . At irwindale I tested this many times relearning at track on arrival . But remember I was getting in 15 passes a night there and had time for all the passes to learn trans . The truck would take about 5 passes to become its best . I would have timeslips to see 10.40 - 10.35 - 10.23 - 10.18 - 10.08 and then it was consistant 10.02-10.01-10.001- 10.00 ect the rest of the night .Tune 8 .This way was learning full throttle and no other positions . Sometimes I would forget I relearned and leave track and damn all the defuel learning cycle would have to be done . Trans was all over the place except for full throttle . Till many times through gears at many different positions . Would catch you off guard after a night of great shifting racing . And leave and through funny defuel shifts , and Id say WTF ..... damn truck .
Best time 1/8 9.66 ppe10 68 mph and 9.50 EFI 70 mph 1.9 60ft.
The problem with doing at track is the amount of time needed to achieve best . Alot of times you only get maybe 3 passes so doing before you leave or day before might be better .
For the most part I would relearn before leaving house 40 miles away and it would be close enough for it to start out close to best and then after maybe 2 runs get to a consistant best time .
I even stopped doing relearns on my trans for the most part and would just go and let it learn . But that was because I had already found my best and was just there to have fun . And I got tire of going through all the funny defuel shifting learning the trans completely later leaving .
I would listen to what Mike thinks and I think his advise will have you very close to your best and after a few passes your trans should drop times and get better if you havnt taught it any bad habits around town before arrival .
Hope this helps
