The digital volt meter attached to the dash was hooked into the MAP sensor circuit so I knew precisely where fueling had to be adjusted in the tables at any given point. Chatting with a good friend at Mopar, they would work in Torr values (absolute pressure) and do conversion. He was suprised that I didn't work in Torr values but the actual voltages the MAP sensor was reading. I knew in my head what the voltages were for a given vacuum/pressure reading and would just adjust what I needed from there, no conversion need.
Just scale your tables from 0-5V
The bottle cracks me up, everytime I tried to use it (while the car was in the 10's) something would happen preventing operation. Had a number of good passes in the high 11's with it but the car kept going faster and faster without it as I learned more and more what the engines liked.
I do remember the second pass at New England Dragway was suppose to be on the bottle against the Supra but it was so cool up there the bottle was too cold and I didn't have a tank heater. It was a tantalizing thought a 9 second timeslip was just a bottle pass away but it never happend.
