I think the boost decay feature is a good thing.
Sure it was a bit obvious that after about the 4th back to back 40-130 mph run with Walked U's car the other night, it was pulling back timing as by the 5th run, his car seemed to be slowing a decent amount.
But keep in mind, how often are you doing back to back to back to back to back 40-130 mph WOT runs with literally about 20 seconds in between each??
Even on a track, you have a lot more braking time and aren't going from 40-130 too often (usually on the one long straight on the track).
And on a drag strip, you only do it once every 2-3 minutes at BEST, and more often once every hour.
Personally, I'd rather have the boost decay feature to save the engine a bit rather than being able to do 5-6 back to back 40-130 mph runs without it.
There really was no reason for Walked U and Terry to do more than 3 or 4 runs anyway. It was clear at that point the cars were even.
Terry seemed to be able to pull a bit by the 5th and 6th run though, since the boost decay feature in v2.02 was in full affect.
Better safe than sorry at that point.
