40-50 mph headwind???? yea that will do it!

getting "hptuned" and "dyno tune" are not two different kinds. HPtuners is just the program to tune with. you can use it to tune on the dyno or the street

 

Okay, I'll post the version of what a immature flamer would do -

Wow man, those times are terrible! Either you can't drive for crap, or your car's crap! I outta Rick Roll yo ass! (poke, lol)


My whole point, if you even care, was to maybe try and figure out possible reasons why his car isn't quite as fast as it should be, whether it's due to altitude, possible driving errors, fuel, etc. Making BS statements just to make the guy feel like crap doesn't do anyone any good.

 

im not going to sugarcoast the fact something is wrong. he did not mention any serious issues in the OP, and mentioned it was cool outside so that leads one to believe something is fucked up. if the truth hurts that bad then you shouldnt be on the internet

 

What was the elevation?

 

i believe he said 3800

 

3800 is pretty damn high......I bet that would take off about 3-4 mph right there.

 

Yea, that elevation is definitely effecting his trap speed.

 

Dyno tune would be better unless your plan on doing a bunch of 80+ mph pulls on the street

 

looked it up its 3,605 ft and I should have been more specific there is a place that can hp tune it or i can go to the dyno and have them tune it there.

 

it will depend on what program the shop uses. not all tuning programs can tune for every car

 

Paractice on your launching man.. I ran a 14.2 @101.58mph with 2.20 60ft with only Catback an airbox mod. need to get them 60ft'rs down

 

well yea ur at 479 ft pretty damn close to sea level.

also I talked to the guy in the GN on my other forums his tranny was acting up and was shifting outta 2nd late here was his mods

Hooker exhaust with cutout (cutout did nearly nothing for the car, but did raise my mph by about 1-1.5 on the top end)
Cold air intake
mabye a slight cam

Very strange numbers man. I'm running a 3.34" tho, and I'm a 2.4 ( i was fairly rich the whole run, you may be running rich)

 

I thought your times looked ok...but what do I know...I have never been to a track either.... I would probably run 1/4 15's or something with stock 06 SS/SC. I say congrats on your times and on posting them here.... I want to go this summer but will probably be laughed at.... Oh well.... Hope your car is running OK and it was just a combination of altitude/first time/ head winds....

 

Your times are excellent for a first time at the track. I ran almost the same as you when I took my first runs down the track 14.44@101 was my best out of five and my clutch started slipping after that run. Keep it up, keeping the tires hooked up is tough but times will get better with practice.
