I'll bet you end up atleast at 2.00 seconds also at shift time

I'm heading out for a test and tune again this Friday. I will set the shift point to 2.0 seconds and see how things go. Thanks.

Is your replay tach hooked up ?

hit setup untill you get to a screen with juse a tach and a 00.00 on it for digits below the tach, there will be nothing on the bottom of this screen and will look empty compared to other screens. Push the up arrow, watch it untill you see what rpm it shifted at @ 1.75 seconds I'll bet 6600ish

Yes the replay tach function is hooked up. I reviewed last Friday to see when the shift was being made. I will check it after every run next time out.

Just wanted to thank you all for your help. I set the box to bracket mode this weekend and have so far figured out the delay (most of my lights were 0.0?? and even had a 0.003) and shift point portion. I'm taking baby steps and will post here for more help as I get into the finer points of the Mega 450. Thanks again!

I think I made another error with the delay box last weekend. I turned off the SLE function. I wasn't launching as hard as I thought I should and was wondering why. Was I not getting up on the two step without the SLE turned on? When I was on the trans brake the car would only rev to about 2300 RPM and never seemed to come up to 6800 RPM before launch. Any input would be appreciated.
