8.1 @ 169 first time out on MSPro

Post by shaodome »

Mods, Not exactly sure where this goes on the forum, so please move if necessary:

Getting ready for World Cup Finals in Maryland and we finally got some test hits at the local track this wednesday. Just about right off the trailer the car went 8.1. Looking forward to turning it up some more and fixing the spark blowout. Heading for 7s :)

Hey, I live in MD. What track are you at and when?
Megasquirt is not for use on pollution controlled vehicles. Any advice I give is for off road use only.

We haven't had a chance to test, but I think it was just not enough dwell given the cylinder pressure. We enabled the dwell table table and cranked it up per some advice from Matt Cramer at DIY. We will be testing it out thursday in Maryland. Hopefully everything goes well.

Believe I saw where the car went 7.89 last weekend. Big congrats to you guys.

IIRC, you guys used to be Haltech users. What prompted the change? Also curious as to what spark plugs you are using, resistor or non-resistor?

Thanks! 7.89 @ 177, fastest import in our class. Broke the output shaft on the diff in eliminations though.

The supra is still a Haltech car, its fully sponsored by them. The 240 was an AEMv1 and Jason (driver) is a friend of mine. I convinced him to switch to MSpro and now we are somewhat carrying the torch for DIYAutotune and Megasquirt in the import drag racing community. We are switching fuels tomorrow and looking for 7.50s or better next time out.

You guys have to be in the 12-1300+hp range and with the limited available of cold resistor plugs, I was curious what you were using.

We do. When it's edited together, I'll post it online. We have a pretty cool shot from the go pro mounted in front of the rear tire facing forward.

We have used NGK copper and iridium 9s as well as copper 10s.
