On the slip from yesterday, is that one slip with your time on the right, or 2 slips with your 2 complete runs? The back half on the top right, is way short of the power that was being put down on the back halves on nitrous.

Yes it is a bolt part that does not apply to the engine or transmission
The main thing I would say is the nut behind the wheel needs adjusted. Reaction time hindered you on your fastest run. If you could cut that in half or better you would definitely gain time.
Just by watching your run I would also say (I know you said nothing to do with the engine) you need a bigger turbo. You are running a GTX4202??? If so you might need a 80mm single that moves more the 110LBs a minute.
I am most likely spitting in the wind here. Let me know!

I thought they started taking the ET time as soon as the light turns green. I thought it was from the time the light turns green till you cross the line a 1/4 mile down the road. If that would be the case then a quicker reaction time would help the ET time.
Correct me if I am wrong.

that is not right, et is from the moment you move till you cross the line, r/t comes into play when racing someone else and you both CAN leave at the same time, who ever has a better r/t has the advantage.

Reaction time is how fast you reacted to the green light without red lighting it. The timer for ET starts when your wheels don't block the staging light beams any more. You don't want to wait until the light is green to launch. You have to time it just right and that takes many, many trips down the strip. And you'll still red light on occasion. :toast:

Well If that's the case, he's not lacking air like everyone is saying. You'll actually lose power going any larger on a single. He may benefit from a larger turbine wheel if it's available. (Precision)

Get the 4 link tuned and swap tires. Work on getting the 60' down. That'll help get the ET down a bit. Maybe a little shorter rear tire too. It sounded like you still had some RPM left to use on the big end, but not enough to consider a gear swap. A shorter tire should help gain a little speed to further cut ET.
