Hey, Dave - still just 12V optima red-top. Thinking of switching to yellow-top for next year. I've pondered ways to use the alt switch to advantage in "fender racing" situations but haven't really messed with it due to risk of voltage/current spikes. If I get motivated I'll come up with an electrical choke/filter arrangement for that. Would be nice to have an "add horsepower now" button in some situations. A racer here in 14s Vega wagon has N2O system he uses only when someone puts a fender on him early... give away the stripe and push the other guy out

Who would want to stage deep? An extra 3/4 - 1" of roll-out is a good thing! Longer head start and harder to go red so long as you hit the tree right. Pro tree maybe another story.... or 19s truck (leave on the 2nd amber )
