I am not using the throttle stop at this time.
use the playback tach and find where it hits 7400 and shift on the timer.
FYI its illegal nhra and ihra to shift the car by the mega 450 rpm and have the tach wire hooked to it :shock:
Thanks, David. I haven't looked at the playback tach yet. I assume it shows time and RPM? When I had the chassis certified the NHRA inspector told me that I had to not only unhook the tach wire from the box but cut the dash enough so the tech inspector would be able to see the tach terminal on the box. I assume this is only for sanctioned events?
Does anyone shift their dragster manually? Is it possible without causing damage?
Yes its possible and won't damage anything, but Not if you want to go to the later rounds. In our Southwest Super Charger class they don't allow electronic shifting and everybody shifts manually. The magic word being everybody. In bracket racing you'll be one of the only ones manually shifting, big disadvantage IMO.
