You have the HP no doubt. Clamp the springs and try 25 psi in the rear and about 28 in the front and see what it does. Don't have a clue how that turbo acts, especially on the line, what boost are you leaving at? Are you blowing off the tires or bogging on the line? You sure your TC is good? What you running for a TC? 1055? OSUBeaver was having the same problem as you and it turned out to be his TC he was running a different connverter however.

You need to try to get another set of tires Henry. All it would have taken is a decent 60' on the 12.1 run and you would have been an 11 sec truck. Any vids from tonight?

That is some very strong MPH. Do you have any videos from your runs? How is the truck acting on the launch? Does it come out of the hole clean or do you have to fight the steering wheel? Lots of tire spin or does it bog? What kind of tire pressure are you running? Do you have any suspension mods (shocks, lowered bars, etc)? And are you running your CoPilot in race mode (all 5 blue lights on) or what setting?

Hell. 1.6x 60' times are awesome. Some people run one track and think that is the norm. Travel around, you'll find different as you know Henry.

You have the tools to go mid to low 11's, maybe just need a maestro. Have you logged runs for your tuner to make changes?

Rob, I don't think anyone was saying anything bad about the 1.6 60' time. I think it was all the others 60' times they were commenting on. Here is the list of 60' times:

2.45
2.15
2.04
2.16
1.66
1.90
1.90
1.91
2.24

On some runs I come out its easy and then sounds like I hit the bottle lol, Then when I come out hard she skips all 4.Had one run tonight she jumped up and went for the wall spinning all 4. copilot was on last setting before the race mode.

Hey Rob
LOL that was the first and only 60' like that it my truck,most of the tie it was always 1.79 or 1.81 and 1.88 area.
What was that you typed I made it bold?
I have logged about 15 runs.Seems like it is coming out and holding the high rpms then it kinfa drops from the 3,500 area to 2,600 then comes back ontop and pulls in the 3,000.Its cleaning the smoke before the 1/8 mile.

I had it on the 1 or number 2 setting wed night for a pass or so did not seem to change.I have also tried it on the street with it off not in 4wd but in 2wd and couldnt feel anything,Afraid to run without it after dealing with my trans last year.I added the copilot after my trans builder told me to, I have learned to listen to the one that builds it fo me, He said I could leave it off on the street driving use it for racing only.I dont feel like pulling the trans again. I wish I had my stock PYO's and the BFG KO's on it atleast they were shorter.

Try putting it in full on race mode. I have never been able to get it to command lockup without being in full race mode. It makes a huge difference on my truck.

Also, have you played with the brake torque limiting any to get a launching control? It might help you get a consistent launch and allow you to dial it into the perfect amount of fuel for the launch.

No, I'm talking about in the tune. There is a brake torque limit table that limits fuel when your foot is on the brake and you are under a predetermined speed. I have it set up to use on my dad's LMM, and as long as your foot is on the brake and you aren't moving, it will sit at 2000 RPM all day long with the accelerator pedal to the floor.

Nice runs Henry. How much psi are you running in your tires? I'd put those PYO's on her and run 28-30 up front and 25-27 out back. Clamp those springs too. you have an 11 sec truck there. Just need that 60' addressed.
