What Delay Box / T-Stop???

Freddie · 12-01-2013, 08:55 PM

We have decided to give up the heads up racing as it has gotten WAY out of hand for us. We are setting up to do a little S/ST, S/G racing, and when the second car is finished S/C. Both cars are Mustangs and depending on what motor we use, my sons car will run mid 9's. I am a little concerned about running S/ST with coming off the stop on 28x10.5 tires, but I am sure there are others doing it now.

I am looking for the most user friendly setups. T-Stop air or electric? under carb or inline? Box? get one that controls everything? We will have a learning curve I am sure but dont want to throw $$$ away on stuff that really dont work.

Thanks..

I have CO2 stops on both my cars. My S/G Camaro has an inline stop because its an injected alcohol motor. That car I have a dedenbear command center. It will pretty much do whatever you want, even has the hookup for the electric dial in boards. My S/C dragster has an under carb CO2 dedenbear stop since I have an alcohol carb on it. I have a mega 400 box in that car and it to can do just about anything you want it to. I prefer the air stop over the electric because you can regulate how fast/slow the stop comes on and off. If you have a CO2 stop on your sons mustang you should be ok coming off the stop. Hope this helps. Welcome to the world of .90 racing

The Nova runs 9.60 all out and I use a simple Mega 85 single stage box (I run a lot of no-box and this one is easier to wire on a 6-wire jumper plug for quick exit).

I use an electric #1 Stop under carb, volts keep the throttle open, ground closes it (goes on the stop). I go on at .250 to .270 depending on converter, because I want to just clear the beams before shutting down. I go off anywhere from 2.00 to 2.40 depending on weather, come off in low gear and shift on RPM. I have never broken the tires loose coming off the stop (M/T 3055S, 10.5 x 28).

Thanks for the information. We may try to make the first couple of races this year and see how it goes. We put a milder motor in my sons car to help us get started, at 2800# for S/ST it will run 10.6's all day long. My car is still going back together and will more than likely not be ready until mid March or April.

Again Thanks a bunch and we look forward to meeting new racing friends...
