i hope so..everyone says i will..not holding my breathe...but once you get faster than a 10.5x the more hp it takes and the harder it gets to drop the same amount compared to a 14, 13, 12, or 11 second car.

true but i havnt seen that with the c6, i think the areo has a lot to do with it. as all the weight to hp calculators seem to be wrong, what shot are you going to use, if you can use the 100, and use it in 2 3 and 4 you should break into the 9s

if it was me, i would get rid of the progresive, i havnt built a kit for the vette because i always had a limp mod problem and didnt want to take a chance and blow the motor, but on every car i ever used it on the progresive produced a slower time, also it would spin the wheels because the inital hit was to soft and the car wasnt in a hard transfer, i found once the car was in full transfer, then a hard hit it plants harder and no spin, but if the nose drops just a hair it will ligjht them up

i can work the progressive...i can shoot a full 100 or 150 if i want without any progression or ramp...so it gives me the best of both worlds...i just have to work with it and find the best combo

nope i thought the same thing, i had a big race, i put the progressive on to dial it in for the road condition, it spun i set it all the way to 5 10 15 20 % then every couple seconds to come in, it spun, so then i tried setting it to 100% instantly i could tell there was a delay, i actually then ran a button to spray, it still had a wide open throttle switch and fuel pressure switch and ran thru the progressive controller, it didnt spin, but was sluggish and not instantanious, so i cut the progressive out wired direct to a toggle as it would be full on as slong as the gas was to the floor and if i had to lift it would go off, but i didnt have to push a button, so i could put it to the floor the car would be in a full transfer then hit the toggle and it would plant harder while in full transfer, dead hook, this worked on the launch of 200 or 400, if i launched with 400 i could still turn the 200 back on in second, if i launched with 200, i could flip switch too 400 turning the 200 offf, then if need i could push a button for the 200 dry to come back on while the 400 was on making 600 try it at 0 seconds and 100%, then try it bypassing the progresive, also the progressive really wears your noids out, you better get nx or nos noids
