2.0 Internal
92/34 => 5.412 FDR
100/37 => 5.405 FDR
108/40 => 5.400 FDR

SUPER STOCK TC INDOOR
1.7 Internal
106/29 => 6.214 FDR
110/30 => 6.233 FDR

1.80 Internal
100/29 => 6.207 FDR
107/31 => 6.213 FDR
114/33 => 6.218 FDR

1.85 Internal
104/31 => 6.206 FDR
114/34 => 6.203 FDR

1.9 Internal
98/30 => 6.207 FDR
108/33 => 6.218 FDR
111/34 => 6.203 FDR

2.0 Internal
112/36 => 6.222 FDR

NB: Serpent Project 4X was checked and due to the O.D. of the center pulley the internal is not exactly 2.000. Testing revealed it is closer to 2.005. For Serpent Cars ONLY, the drivers who wish to be as close as possible to the Minimum FDR can use the following spur/pinion combinations: SS TC => 99/32; Stock TC => 97/36; USGT => 101/46.

Wrong, the meter measures actual motor RPM through the sensor cable, and actual wheel RPM from the axle nut, with those 2 definitive numbers FDR becomes a known value regardless of the internal ratios

Unfortunately the flux capacitor of the TC 4 does create a molecular instability zone around the sensor cable resulting an erroneous numbers, that's why it's best to use a brushed motor.

You are putting a lot of time into figuring out an excuse for failing a tech inspection.

No problem is too big for the research scientists at the Global Institute of Racing Standards and Coloured Liquids

Drive-ratio-adjustment fluids promise to revolutionise cooking in microwave ovens.

The Can Am series group surely will nominate or pick a trustworthy person to properly calibrate, run the said FDR machine in an effort to catch the cheaters, but who will that person be ??? Very simple question, no excuses....Transparency is very important at the beginning of every movement, specially when no voting system(like Roar) has been in place: remember the Federal laws of the land regarding folks attempting to charge for non existent problems.....

Hey Bert -- I'm not going to see your reply -- but your feedback would be a lot more welcomed if you raced -- even if just locally.

There are a few open slots at the NYGP. And 360v2 is open every Wednesday for racing. The weekend schedule is starting too.

Hope to see you at the track. Would love to hear your feedback face to face.
