I have decided against flying, I will be making the drive, it is far cheaper. A lot more time but it is what it is.

Fly in to BNA and drive up to BG. It's just over an hour if you avoid rush hour traffic.

Get time give me a shout and we'll grab a beer.

Started the wiring process. Watched a lot of videos on organization of ins/outs. Have a good grasp on it. Didn’t realize it but I bought ALL the connector harnesses… welp time to wire in ALL the sensors… lol. Now to figure out a good place to mount this. I have an idea or two. 😁

Saw the cost of repair is a NEW Dominator. Not happening. Thank you for recommending.

Added the motion raceworks operator postion sensor as an input on the harness. Now I know what gear I'm in based on voltage. This is a piece of kit that should be a must have. Eliminates transbrake, line lock, bump buttons from activating if not in right gear.

Food for thought. Was looking at the FSS cars and learned the NHRA doesn't allow transbrake. So I went back and looked at Geoff’s videos, Lindsay Wheelock, AJ and some others. Looks like you stage bulb one. Stage bulb two with brake and then mash accelerator pedal to activate two step and then drop the hammer.

Example 1:

Example 2:

Looks like I’ll be replicating my Hellcat two step on my Charger.

Transbrake ideally is for people that need to build boost, like a turbo and then bump in. After reading the Holley docs, all is clear now. PD blowers don’t bump in.

Interesting, a lot of blower cars and n/a use a trans brake. It’s for consistency and so you can bump in and stage quickly and consistently. Interesting it’s not allowed in that class

Thats not why I posted it, more about how he said you don't bump in a blower car.
