I did the EDL disable mod (supply 12V to the brake sensor wire to make it think you're on the brakes) and went out to the dragstrip for the first time after replacing my bad MAF.

Managed to get 4 runs in. Temp between 50-55 degF, approx 1100 ft altitude.

RUN 1:
R/T 0.638
60' 1.978
330 5.654
1/8 8.685 @ 83.96
1000 11.245
1/4 13.454 @ 100.45

RUN 2:
R/T 0.453
60' 1.990
330 5.743
1/8 8.826 @ 82.72
1000 11.415
1/4 13.628 @ 100.00

RUN 3:
R/T 0.680
60' 1.856
330 5.581
1/8 8.615 @ 83.96
1000 11.181
1/4 13.371 @ 103.21

RUN 4:
R/T 0.626
60' 1.923
330 5.653
1/8 8.757 @ 82.12
1000 11.358
1/4 13.578 @ 100.67


On Run 4 I tried a more aggressive launch at about 5000 RPM and got a lot of tire and transmission hop. Guess I didn't get enough practice launches with the EDL disabled. I think typically I will leave it off except when I really need it (snow, etc.)

These times are all on XR chip with 1/3 tank of 100 octane. With the MTM exhaust being so quiet, I wonder if it's too restrictive and preventing me from getting maximum power. The good news is this beats my previous best of 13.8 when I had a bad MAF. Guess I need those DP's to get close to 13 flat?
