I am not sure I understand the question, but like the Goodguys's VRA rules, this is a drvier/tuner series. Any adjustments such as shifting, launch control, etc. has to be done by the driver. No electronic timers, delay boxes, air-pressure shifters, and so on.
I think you are asking what we do with our car, which is a one stage throttle control wired to the linelock button. This allows the driver to push the pedal to the floor with out opening the butterflies up all the way. They only open a small amount to bring up the RPMs and when the driver release the button, it is then the butterflies open to full throttle.
The result is to create the fuel curve that the tuner has set up within his calculations. This is also to shock the tires and make the chassic work properly.

I think that is what he is asking. That is what we are going to put on our injected BBC....

Another words, it's a "launch Control Devise"...I thought this was one of the items that was discussed during the ANRA rules meeting way back when, and it was deemed a "no no".. I know there are some folks that are using them, and it does provide a distinct advantage over a car that doesn't use one..It's not supposed to be a legal devise, but then again, neither is half the crap that's being put on cars now... It's a NON DRIVER controlled function. rite??  ..Just thought I'd ask..  |

The "control" I'm putting on my car is a rev limiter attached to my transbrake...period. Neither items are illegal. What we said would be illegal is delay boxes, stutter boxes and air/elect throttle stops. Releasing a button either to shift or to launch are functions of the driver. As long as that button is released by the driver hand, finger, foot, etc..... I believe the VRA rules are very clear on this. Now, as far as some of the VRA legal ignition systems?  |

JR is correct. If you use a secondary bypass, which limits the throttle control while the car is in motion, then it becomes illeagal. As a single stage, it is only controlled while being staged.
To put it another way, the petal is either at idle on the floor during the staging procedure. The only way the driver can control the excelleration of the car during the run is with the petal.
This is what happen to my dad the last time out when the car stalled on the startingline. He is to push the button and quickly press the pedal to the floor, which brings the RPM up to 3500 and then release the button to launch the car. What he did was press the button and waited which closed the butterflies tight and flooded the engine, which in turn stalled. Quit opposite of what he normally does and stage the car goes through the sequence before the other driver is ready and has to wait while the RPMs are up on the converter. So rather than lose the converter he will launch before the greenlight.
I hope this make sense because it is confusing even to me.
