Default 11.50 tuneup

My Dad's car is looking good for the 11.50 index. Here's his times from the race on 3/21

11.526
11.590
11.513
11.512

Of course I am sure it will be 90*F on April 4th and we will have to throw this tune out the window,

Whats up with the R/T's??

Will your father be going Deep? I think he should. If he will go deep, you need to add .07 to .08 to the ET.

You can tighten that up a little. You think a 11.51 will get you tho the finals?

Yes. he will be going deep. He is much better at the pro-tree than the full tree. Like you, he can go .001 to .005 on a Pro-Tree at will. He doesn't do it in the bracket racing because he doesn't want to show off.

I will add 1.595875% to the throttle to compensate.

Based on your advice I will subtract .005975% throttle so that he can run a perfect .50 with a 2

Nice, apparently the Fischers will be serious contenders for sure.

Yes, on some days it will be enough and on some days it might not be, depends on the light each has cut and of course one's ability at tricking their opponent a little, perhaps even getting them to break out.
Going to be a fun season either way.
