Remember when ramping was a dirty word?

What was the really horrible dm4 board? I think it was the anderson board that would ramp BPS and also ramp dwell so it would ramp velocity as well.

i remember when ramping was just called cheating.

i believe the anderson board was only for the Gen-e Trixes, and i believe ironmen used those boards. i dont think they ramped dwell though, i could be wrong. i know virtue mad the speedy series cheater boards.

i think its comical that the shocker turbos became legal as time moved on.

It may not be the anderson board, I just remember a board for the dm4(sure on this) that ramped velocity by increasing dwell(sure on this)

Too bad that never really worked that well.

Realize that well tuned DM's are set to have the dwell dump the entire chamber and nothing more, anything higher is a waste. So the only way that board worked is if you set your dwell slightly less than what the chamber was holding, then raise your pressure slightly to compensate so you'd chrono in 280's-290's... then once the dwell was raised a bit during the ramping it would dump the full chamber with a higher pressure resulting in the ball going faster. (Resulting in even worse efficiency with that those old matrices' already got.) Even then it was only going to be slightly over 300. Ramping dwell really didn't work all that great.

Technically cheating, but the amount of work involved generally wasn't worth it considering refs were checking guns mid-stream in real tournaments to catch velocity ramping. Once the Halo came out and guns had eye's ...bouncing triggers / ramping boards took over until the PSP setup capped 15bps... now it's calmed down to being a moot point..

And... 2003-2004 is not old-school...

No, it somehow got a DM4 shooting close to 400fps.
