Turbo-Action E-Shift Controller - Page 2

>> Why hasn't anyone answered Woodro's question about stick cars?

Norton probably is, but he runs a Pure Stocker.

Nobody's answered the question about why the E-Shift is a "safety device".

Woodro -- has NHRA changed the jacket rule, or do they still have 9-10-11 sec. Stockers with guys wearing t-shirts? While it didn't become an issue, my Volare has been on fire, and while I always wear my fire jacket, it's made me re-think some stuff. I've since moved where I have the fire extinguisher mounted so I can get to it quicker/easier in an emergency.

Back on topic -- Louis brings up something I was going to ask last night. Are these late model computer cars running aftermarket transmissions, or are they running "performance built" versions of the stock transmission? i.e., Could the computer shift the transmissions that are being used in these cars, or would people have to manually shift them if it wasn't for the E-Shift?

Michael, 11.49 or M/S must wear a Jacket. As for the Computer shifting the Tranny, the Holley system has a function for shifting the tranny just like the OEM computer. You know some of you guys have pissed and moaned ever since i brought out the very First LT1 Fuel Injected car, get over it, it's here to stay and as for the OEM tranny NHRA didn't want us using it because it had overdrive and Lock up Convertor. If that ever comes about i am sure they would be quicker yet. Now you guys voted to get the Fuel Injection cars away from the Carb cars so why do you care how we shift? Hey guys this is the 21'st century, times change.

I'm 100% behind Woodro on this. If you think a fuel injected car is more consistent than a carb car, you are mistaken. I've ruined entire seasons from a consistency stand point by making one seemingly minor wrong call in the ECU. An EFI car has to be set up about perfect to be as good as a carb stocker.
