finally went to the track
Went to palm beach international finally after being tuned for probably close to a year ended up getting 4 runs in
The track prep was bad this night, would chirp shifting to second, then would spin once the turbo spooled up,no one was getting the greatest traction even the skyline guys were complaing they could only cut a 1.8 60 instead of 1.5
A little disappointed but a driver mod would help.
First run was a 13.8 at 107.3 with a 2.2 60 missed 3rd ...solo run
this run i shifted into 4th other 3 runs stayed in 3rd.
next run was a 13.7 at 106.4 with a 2.33 60 against a speed3 new one 15.4 at 94 with i/e/t
next run was 13.7 at 107.7 with a 2.3 60 against a turbo 240 14.7 at 107
last run 13.7 at 107.8 with a 2.3 60 against a tundra 13.4 at 105
The car has terms 24psi tune, zzp dp, zzp intake tube, treadstone tr8 intercooler, injen hotside pipe, K/N drop in filter.
Tires are nitto neogens at 26 psi
launch was around 2-3k
Any suggestions?

Yeah the 60 foot time is killing you. Should be able to pick up almost another .3-.4... Another set of mount options are:

I have the stage 1 mounts, and also the football mod,added twm cable clamp and bushings also,which wont help just feels better,and working on getting the 60' down. only tracked it a few times. But i do have DR now , so next time i go out which is friday ill use those so well see what happens.
im getting the similar tune to you, and cant wait for the track on it. tires and mounts are always what helps out fron drive cars with good pwer.
trap speed is pretty good, im sure with better driving and mounts, 12.9-13.2 is in your future...gl

Those tundra's run 14's stock, it was probably lightly modded if anything. 104 trap isn't much, he was getting off the line nicely. I was running 13.5's at 104ish with the Z with a 2.0 60 foot, at stock power. Those tundras have a lot of gear, a nice 6 speed auto, and 370ish hp stock.

didnt get a chance to go that day, ecu ended up getting bricked when i had got sent the wrong tune. will update in like 2 weeks when i get to the next test and tune.
Even with a 2.2 60' your mph with those mods should be 110 or so.Are you powershifting?(NLS) for you youngsters.Trifecta tune only I drove my dad's Cobalt 13.2 @ 107 with a 2.18 60'.My car same day with DP and intake wnt 12.9@111.You should be where I was at.

nope no nls for me.
actually making it back tomorrow to the track after the new tune goes in.
not every car is going to trap the same either,
depends on what your elevation and da is also, im sure your air is better than mine.

Florida air is humid and nasty, believe me, i know cause i live here..lol
gl and reach for that 12.9
BTW, what rpms are you shifting at and what gear are you ending in?
I launch @ 2500, then I shift 1-2 @ 5800, then 2-3 @ 6k, then 3-4 @ 6200, ending in 4th obviously, and about 75ft before finish.
