fail track night

went to the track tonight hoping that since I fixed my issues with kr, and high iat2 I would run better than my 13.96 and not run 14.6 again......

Well I got to the track, let the car cool down and then I lined up a few times through out the night.

here are some times, my other slips accidently flew out the window
run 1 1/4et-14.68 1/4mph-95.85 60ft 2.50
run 2 1/4et-14.78 1/4mph-96.96 60ft- 2.41

Ever since I upgraded to an lsj throttle body and lsj map sensor these are my average times. Before when I was using the le5 throttle body and map sensor my best was a 13.96...... I have no idea what the issue can be

13.96 @ 103.9mph 60ft- 2.31

thats my 13.9 run..... since then I only added the throttle body, and map sensor. everything else is the same.

That was in February when I ran the 13.9... I don't think temp. Is a big factor... Tonight was in the mid 70s and it had just rained a couple hours ago.

temp is DEF a factor. i ran 13.76 with just a pulley, injectors, tune. in march last year when it was like 50*. then with intake, full exhaust, h/e, meth and a better tune. i only ran two times better than that.

Air quality is a huge factor, fyi. If you can remember the date/time from feb and give the track name, I can get a comparison between the 2 days to tell whether or not the air had anything to do with it. Or you can do it yourself...

Did you retune the car at all after adding the throttle body and map sensor?

Did you have it dyno tuned? What were the results? It sounds like you either need some more cooling mods or your tune is off.

ok, I pulled plugs checked the gap and they were at .030.... so I tried regapping them to .035 and I broke one of the tips. I went to o'reilys bought some new plugs NGK copper 1 step colder gapped them to .035 put them in and to me the car pulls harder now. IDK if its just me I'm gonna get some 2nd opinions later on.

joe, come down to sea level and I bet you can get some better times. What kind of cooling mods are you running right now? I know you told me, but I forgot.

You got to get those 60s down if you want to get a better ET. Rough rule of thumb is, for every tenth you knock off your 60, you gain 2 tenths on the big end. That theory has always held pretty true for me.
