i went to the drag strip lastnight and all i could run was a14.339 i dont know what im doing wrong with the mods i have i should be in the mid 13's i think my tune is all worng mods are cai,hptuner,meth kit,custom2.50 exhaust,2.6pully 60 injectors and b&m shifter can any one help me out i was getting good starts but my buddy say the car seem to pully more after the 1/8 mark dam this is pissing me off

 

what were your 60' times?

 

What he said.

 

yea its all about ur 60ft time and ur shifts... u have to nail em perfect... reaction time is very important.. ur not gunna get but so good of a time, without dr's end of story

 

reaction time actually doesn't mean anything at all, unless you're bracket racing. unless you mean reaction as far as shifting.

and like everyone else said, what's your 60?

 

your reaction time is not going to affect your ET or MPH it is only used for elimination type racing (bracket, quick 8, etc).

too quick!!!

 

I have found that a lack of punctuation will slow your car down. Try adding some of that.

 

post 60's

your tune could very well me jacked up...seen a lot of messed up tunes posted

 

yeah 60 times i ran a 14.4 with stage 2 and an intake..with 2.337 60'

hey ****! blackSS/SC06 didnt i see you at the track???

 

i ran at 14.0 with a 2.8 60'...(yea yea, i know, was first time at track, without all my current mods)

 

yeah, i was down at the track.


[what were your 60' times? ]
2.293

 

i would work on your driver mod. with a 2.2 60 time, you should be a LOT lower than low to mid 14's.

maybe work on your shifting? were you using the 50 shot? some people run 14.4 stock, so unless your car is very messed up, you should be a good chunk quicker

 

i ran 14.22 bone stock expt for ingalls tq arm and bfg kdwS all in the grip

 

have someone reputable look at your tune, like stated ^^^ u should run better than that with a 2.2 60' should be about 13.8ish

also, what was then temp/humidity that day? too hot = less power

 

with all those mods, and a 2.2 60ft you should be almost a second faster than that.
either something is seriously fucked up with your tune, your shifting is slow as old people *******....or your track is uphill! lol

a 2.2 60ft, with Intake, S2, and Exhaust will run high 13s.

 

+1 for that LMFAO

 

when you're making fun of someone's punctuation, you better capitilize your sentances. even though you fixed it, it makes you look stupider than him!

 

thats funny, i dont believe i ever mentioned capitilizing things, just punctuation. i am starting to think that no one on this board can take a joke. or that i am becoming less funny over the years... one of the two anyway. but yah i do see your point.

 

Hell with your ET. What was your best trap speed? E/T just show's you're a crappy driver

 

Have the stage 2 with CAI and GMPP full exhaust with the extruded honed manifold.

Ran at the track this week which is sea level and ambient temps were 78-66 for the 6 runs. Sometimes the track just isnt good even when shifting is perfect and launch is decent. I was expecting 13's also but it just wasnt gonna happen this night.

Best run was first one at 14.25 at 97.5 mph with a 2.23 60 footer (which also was against a C5 Z06 vette which lost as he blew the launch with a 2.6 60' and couldnt catch up before the end of the 1/4 and was probably embarassed as hell). Have video of that run agaisnt the Z06.

The worst run was a 14.5 at 98.5 with a 2.3 60'. All runs were with 2.23-2.3 60 footers and shifting right at 7000 with no missed orslow shifts. Tried all sorts of different launch rpms and couldnt get better than a 2.23. After watching video it was obvious tires were spinning all through first but no wheel hopping, so could have come out softer, but that would have made for even worse times than spinning tires. Just couldnt nail a 13 period with current setup.

Am going with a 2.9 pulley to see what that does next.

 

Your trap speeds seem so low. I pulled 98 when i was bone stock. Are you powershifting or letting off between shifts?

 

He is jusy asking for help, no need to bash guys? jesus

Maybe ure going uphill and humidity, altitude and temperature outside can make a big difference. Just keep at it and it should get better

You could chek ure tune make sure its good. And dont compare ure time to others man, all track are different!!

 

I hit a 14.0@101 with that setup, and im at 2500ft altitude.
at sea level you should be quite a ways into 13s
by your traps is seems like maybe you were heatsoaked?
do you let your car cool down for a while after every 2-3 runs?

 

yeah what he said im asking for help not to be busted on and it not my shifting iam really quick i was taken the car all the way up to 6800rpm at shifts like i said i think its the tune but im not sure i need some one to look at my tune or somthing

plus that night i beat 2 mustang gt,cobalt ss with stage2,vw with stage2,srt4-stage 2 18 psi

 

not raggin on ya man.
but you only gave the bare bones facts....and obviously your getting off the line decently,
and you have the mods do do mid 13s....

That suggests that past the 60ft mark...either you, or your car, is letting you down.
theres no shame in admitting that your driving may need work.

but if your shifting quickly. close to redline without hitting it.... then it definately sounds like theres a power issue with your car.

What are your IAT2 temps before and during the run?
If your IAT2 is above 130 before you start the run, you need to go park the car and let it cool.
