Sooo… I go to Lebannon Valley today to test and tune. I got literally about 10 runs in… I brought the laptop, change my plugs. and did some tuning. well the AFR’s on my car are great now 14.6-8’s well cruising. 13.3’s at WOT my car seems to run better (smoother) but no time increase. 60fts were 2.0 and I was launching at 6000 rpms and bogging down. Tires were sticking big time (correct 6000rpms) and I was hooking… I wanted other’s opinions on what it might be that my car wont go into the 13’s (and no its not the driver!) my best today was 14.18 @ 100 with a 2.01 60ft. I also tried with the exh. cut open and closed the only difference I noticed is that the engine revved faster with it open., but no better ets or mph’s. Serious advice would be good. Adam, John or Hank! ---

2.0 60ft… what tires are you on? and 14.1 @ 100 is showing decent power but if youre hooking at 6000rpm launch you should easily be a 1.7-1.8 60ft so something is up. maybe youre shorting into 2nd gear. get the 60 down and youve got 13.5-13.6s in it. ---

what r ur trap rpms u know when u cross the line and what gear? i would shift it @ 62-6500rpm. with that tall of a tire and 3:42 it more like a 3:20 ish i could do math to figure it out but i’m lazy and it is sunday. that’s alot of the reason for the bog and low 60’ ---
