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?
He is right on the tach wire but dead wrong on cutting your dash. All ihra or nhra events are this way, bracket racing or div/nat racing. Think of it this way, you won and someone says check his tach wire. Busted and your now labeled a cheater :shock:
You can shift manually but its not consistent, add a rpm switch and be done with it.
