Affects of Ingall's TQ damper

Anybody get slower 1/4 mile times after they put on an Ingall's Stiffy Engine Torque Damper? My times were about .5 seconds slower. Dont know if it was the TQ damper or if I just had a crappy day at the track.

you should get better times if anything b/c of the increased traction and decreased hop.

I think you just had a bad day... a half a second can be contributed to many things.

How much gas did you have in the car vs last time?

Track temperature differences?

Air temp & humidity differences?

How about that tire pressure?

Now if you dropped morethan a second... sure I'd say something was wrong... but a half... no.

I figured it was a bad day, I just wanted to be sure. I think it was my launches. I wasnt too sure how high to launch the car. Hopefully next time will be better.
