No secrets in the car, just spent all season working on chassis/shock tuning and the latter part of the season working on efficiency and power.
Spent a fair amount of timing working with the launch retard on the Power Grid. I adjust not only degrees and ramp in time, but also the shape of the ramp setup. The last two runs were both a 10 degree retard curve with the ramp rate .2 seconds different between the 5.18 and 5.16 runs. To date with this 582 combination, I have not yet tried less than a 10 degree start line retard. Honestly half scared to try it with the cool air here as I need more runs to get data on front shock settings to keep the front end down with it making more power in better air.
