The issue I did have was a distinct lack of brakes from high speed, basically hit the brake at the end of the straight and no response. Once the car had coasted down a bit the brakes seemed to come in and were strong enough to stop reasonably quickly. This is also apparent on the bench with a delay in braking from high speed.

Tried various settings and two different motors as a club mate said he had seen the same issue with a Speed Passion ProStock / X12 combination.

30m x 15m carpet track

Software 211
LRP x12 13.5 (-10 insert)
fdr 7.25
1. Running Mode = Fwd / Brake
2. Drag Brake = 0%
3. Low Voltage = 3.0v
4. Start Mode = Level 4
5. Max Brake = 100%
6. Max Reverse = 100%
7. Initial Brake = 0%
8. Neutral Range = 6%
9. Boost Timing = 34
10. Turbo Slope = 18
11. Over-heat = On
12. Turbo Timing = 0 (yes zero)
13. Boost Start RPM = 6000
14. Turbo Delay = 0.4s
15. Timing Punch = 450 rpm/deg

Also tried with Novak SS 13.5 with the following changes:

9. Boost Timing = 44
12. Turbo Timing = 20
13. Boost Start RPM = 3000
14. Turbo Delay = 0.3s

Both motors had good speed and reasonable temps, smooth and nice to drive with the exception of the poor brakes.

Can anyone suggest what I should be doing differently?

Cheers,

Nick

I have run all the software since 518 and have found the transition from on throttle to brakes the best on the new 211 software. I really liked the 1224 software and thought that it is slightly faster than 211 but with higher temps and not as nice brakes. i can handle a little less speed as it helps lap times along the way.
