I am guessing you are at the BCM. You aren't going to find that circuit there. The PCM is in the RF wheel well below the battery. Another access point is at the underhood fuse box. (In the bottom of the fuse box) the large black connector terminal D4 white wire or one of the two grey connectors terminal A3 white wire.

One other hope of finding the circuit inside the car but not at the gauge cluster, is to find where the main wiring harness from the underhood fuse box comes through the firewall on the RH side of the dash and try to figure out the correct white tach wire.

Cooler would definately be better, lets hope the wind keeps itself in check, 20+ mph winds from the Southwest.... lets hope its more from the west.... warm temps and headwind are gonna hurt anyone looking to best thier ET's

Track pretty much runs straight south so a SSW wind will be at our faces and right side on the way down, looks like the earlier in the day the better our chances are of avoiding the big winds.

I would like a baro reading of 31+
Negative DA
Low 60's for temps
Clear sunny skies
A nice 10-20 mph wind from the north
and a track prepped so good you could launch a 1000rwhp car on bald runflats

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK????
