Why you hate the 2 step? I ran the 2 step on mine once and we did really good. But I tried to do something like you’re doing and sucked. I’m only worried about the blower with the 2 step

I don’t have much insight but I’d check adjustment on the band.

Very cool!
Honestly I’m not a great driver so I just wired in a switch so it shifts itself. I also mounted my shift light on the blower case. I’m just not smart enough to actually look at it.

I wear a 15, with fire retardant under wear, gloves and socks, under the rest. I would go to the 20 suit but it’sa but pricey and I had a 15 given to me every 2-3 years.

Anyone ever use a spacer to have a better field of vision in a FED?

So we went out last night. And we ended up lining up crooked and I failed to keep the car in the groove. We’re gonna have to make more laps

Hey guys!
We been having a bit of an issue backing the car and staging the car straight after the burnout.
The FED is blown and I can’t see the frontend.

Any advice?!

Thanks

In my experience, it sounds like nothing is wrong. Convertor in both my cars starts moving as soon as I put it in gear. Both run FTI convertor both stall fine. One is 2600lbs 615hp 5400stalland the other is roughly 1000hp and 1600lbs with about 4000-4500 stall
