Damn, I woulda thought you had 11’s by now.

Its all good dude. Its kind of a game to get it into the 11s, and Im having fun chasing it haha.

Wow, what was the temperature at the track yesterday? After a dyno tune that car doesnt pick up MPH something seems wrong with that. I didnt think it mattered what gear you are in, 3rd or D, they both should work the same. Only thing that may happen is a converter lockup. I would have someone change that so that the converter doesnt lock up at all until well after the 1/4 mile mark. It will run quicker with open converter.

Brake torque launches are definately the best. Sounds like you need to get better tires and work the suspension abit. Once it hooks up it will go low 1.7 60’s but should beable to manage 1.6’s without too much difficulty. That will get you 11.9’s maybe 11.8’s on good air.

Still think that car should be quicker than it is tho.

The temp dropped pretty good by the time I ran my good runs. Ive noticed my car likes it a little warm/hot out to run really well. Ive actually lost about .6 mph in the 1/8 since the tune. Im thinking the converter was locking up on me yea. Once it shifted to 3rd it would sit right at 4500 rpms and not drop or increase…until I dropped it down into 3.

I agree on the tires and suspension. Seems like gaining 60whp did it in for these tires lol cuz Im spinning with my good launches. Im gonna try lowering the psi next time. I ran it at 14 psi the whole night. Maybe 10 or 12 will be better. My tires are MT 26/10.50/16 if anyone wants to know. The suspension I plan on doing like I did with my other car. Besides subframe connectors and a strut tower brace the suspension is stock.
