I was looking at the time slips from day 1 at the all Ford race.
In a span of 9 hours and 15 minutes, ( 2:30-11:45 pm) there were 15 passes made and the 60-594 ft. times were between 5.9756 to 6.0060 seconds.
No changes to the car whatsoever. The last 5 of those passes were late into the evening in the the bracket race.
The reason I use the 60-594 times to check for the car's consistency is because in bracket mode I will sometimes lift past the 594 ft. timer...and the first 60 ft. time can change due to where the front tires are in the beams, even tho I try to barely stage each time.
This info tells me that the factory ecu and 5r55 trans do a great job at consistency, so long as the water temp is the same every run.
