Langdon 345mph (9 Viewers)

[none]

Alan no disrespect was meant I just thought you misread what I said.

I agree, I think you are not understanding my thought or maybe I am not explaining it clearly. So the clutch locks up at XX seconds and the RPM hits the limiter at 900 feet, if they delay the lock up .010 seconds now the RPM hits the limiter at 1000'. keeping power and MPH up. If you pull timing at 900 feet the car is going to lose MPH. Now as seen this is NOT the best scenario for ET.

The rev limiter doesn't know or care what the clutch is doing. It knows and cares about the engine speed. So it you slip the clutch and the engine gets to the limiter, it loses power, you need to keep the RPM under the limit and you don't hold the engine speed down by letting it run through the clutch.

It is my understanding that on both the 345 runs the engine dropped or fluttered a cylinder at the step, then picked it up (which is pretty unusual) that delayed the full acceleration for a split second and that delayed the engine getting to the limiter. I think Brian called it a "Happy Accident" in Florida.
