Finally got back out to test the transbrake. I ran an event in October on the footbrake and ran a disappointing 10.06@145 with a lackluster 1.65 60' time. It was just dead coming out of the hole. I added the transbrake and had done some testing in the parking lot, but wanted to get some clean runs on a prepped track with a burnout, etc. Well, she DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Timeslips, video and pics below.
I made (3) passes. The first was on 10psi and it went 6.24@113.8 with a 1.49 60'. Better....
Next pass I launched on the 10psi setting and tried to hit it with more boost mid track. It went 6.14@115.8 with a 1.38 60'. Now we're talking....
I only had time to make one more pass, so I figured I'd see what it'd do if I just put it on the 15psi boost setting and let her eat. I figured I'd have some clutch issues as I've seen a few signs that they're due for a change. It left hard, the rpms slid down on the 1-2 shift like the clutches were slipping, but I just stayed in it. A new personal best with a 5.84@119.4 with a 1.34 60'. Super happy! I'll rebuild the tranny this winter and be ready to run some even better times in the spring!
