I've had great success with both types using Autronic SM4 ecu.

It is also nice to have both driven, and un-driven speed sensors for datalog analysis, to assist in driver training.

But yes, un-driven wheel is the best way overall to control a drag race car.

There's a few more options that I would like to implement, as soon at the VEMSTune becomes remotely usable.

What is launching strategy?
Crankshaft and bearings are OE?

- Yes, crank and bearings are 100% OEM.

- We have problems with the flywheel bolts at 8,500 RPM however

Right now we're using an ARP bolt that is 220,000 psi tensile strength.

But there will be other measures taken when the engine is apart next time.
