New 17.5 Redline with RS testing. Started at 5.0, temped at 130. I switched to 4.8 and decreased timing boost to 10, set the motor at 10*, turned on turbo to 10 and set delay a little high so I could get used to it at 0.7 seconds. I let the shop owner take it for a spin. He immediately charged his 13.5 up to compare and lap times were withing 3 or 4 tenths. Brakes were set at 85 and I could lock it up and slide it. I started with 55 drag brake, but will probably increase it another 5 to try it. Final temps came off at 150*. Now I just need lots of laps!
Thanks Randy and the gents who post their theories here. Keep up the great pool of info.
