Was actually working on my NHRA 6.10 tune up and this came up. Nipped a plug and laid over a bit otherwise it would of been 5.9x at 230. The run before went 6.11 at 189 lifting at 1000ft. Not bad for a Chevy in a suspended dragster on 3197 Mickeys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZzx_yMI6KE | ||

What kind of 60' is a run like that? Very cool! Nipping the plug a matter of too much timing, too little fuel or both? Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

Just a little lean in 1 hole. 60 on that run was .968 pulling 8* at the hit with a 28* base and all back in by 2.5 secs. The run before was .964 pulling 6* and went 6.11 lifting at 1000ft | |||

Sweet video!! Can I ask a question from the viewpoint of someone who is not familiar with the supercharged setup. Can you explain the staging process?? With the glare on the tree I can’t see the order in which you’re doing things. I’ve always wondered if the “lope” a supercharger makes staging the same difficult? So I’m assuming that’s a SLE you’re using to “smooth” the idle to stage, but are you activating that before you pre-stage, after you pre-stage? There again I guess if I could see the tree in the video I wouldn’t have to ask this?? Thanks | |||

Great video... Shall we say "Stem Roller" at it's best. Head phones at at 10 lol. Honey the house is on fire. Just wait a minute lol. | |||

Staging process is no different than any full tree bracket car. Yes blower surge can make staging hard if its really bad. Mine only seems to surge when its a little cold, once it warms up it smooths out. I do have an SLE, right before I put the top stage bulb on I push a button that activates the SLE and also turns on the data logger then stage normal. I let go on the top bulb with my foot already on the floor and let the delay box take it from there. | |||

Thanks for taking us along, just awesome big Steve..... HAVE THEY CALLED US YET ? THEY HAVE!!! | |||

The idle surge can make it difficult to stage, yes. Been there done that. Steve will get that tuned out. It's somewhat of a moving target to get the surge out depending on conditions and the general tune-up …. 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

Definitely a moving target, the run before this one had no surge and this one had a little but was gone once I backed up. A cold engine and air seems to make it worse | |||

Appreciate the responses and sorry to ask novice questions. So using the video above, to the novice listener like myself, I can tell once you’ve backed up and cleared it out a little and start the move forward that the motor sounds smoother (no surge). The reason for this is because the motor/tuneup effects that whether it’s temperature or whatever your tuneup needs or calls for? It’s nothing to do with the SLE being activated and the rpm’s smoothing the surge out? I hope I’m wording this the correct way... Thanks again | |||

I guess the reason I keep asking or including the SLE part is that I’ve heard some people say they use the SLE to increase the rpm’s a little above idle to smooth even the non-supercharged engines out to make the staging process easier for them. Just curious if this is used with the supercharged setups. | |||

Wow, that was fun from my couch. Can only imagine the rush it is in the seat. Thanks for sharing. | |||

Yes nothing to do with the SLE when it smoothed out, just the engine getting up to temperature. My SLE is set neutral, when I put my foot down the blades do not move. But yes you could and people do adjust it to raise the idle a little bit or allot if you want, I always found it distracting so don't do it. The main reason I use it is for consistency, the 2 step is hard on a blower engine so dont want it on any longer than necessary and plus its just 1 less thing to think about | |||

Works great for turbo bracket cars where you don't want to go all the way to a bump box. I used it for years when I had a stock pump in the trans to raise the pressure a little so the car didn't rock back and unstage you when shallow staging. If you run into low pressure, and hit the tbrake, it can rock back a little. a little extra idle rpm fixes it. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||
