My first time for 2009
Last year in August the car would not run any faster than 14.0-14.1@101. This year I fixed the catalytic converter that was robbing me of power and we tuned the car, fixed the transmission shifting profiles. Honestly I was shooting for a 13.5@104-105ish.
After trying to get some runs in last Friday and Thursday but ended up getting rained out, I went last night. I got some nice starting runs, 6 altogether. The car has just a lid, catback, cutout was closed. Weather was a little humid, temps in the mid 70's...not bad out.
First run
Launched at 1,000
60' 2.2
1/4 ET 13.8
MPH 101.95
Second run
Same launch rpm
60' 2.1
1/4 ET 13.7
MPH 101.60
Third run- Best run of the night.
Launched at 1200 rpms
60' 2.1
1/4 ET 13.5
MPH 102.45
Fourth run
Sucked ass. I tried launching a littler higher and redlit, blew the tires immediately. So I pedalled it got right back in it and the trans had shifted into 2nd by then. I finished I ran a 14.0@101
Fifth run
Launched a little softer around 900
60' 2.2
1/4 ET 13.8
MPH 101.44
Sixth run
Launched at 1100
60' 2.2
1/4 ET 13.8
MPH 101.21
Overall, the mph is down and I need to work on things, but the car is running 4-6 tenths faster than last year. I thank Frost for helping me out and his tuning got the transmission shifting the way it should(chirps 2nd gear real nice ). Now it is time to make up some power.

The mph is low if it is an auto then it is not bad. What gears? What was your tire pressure? Get lower control arm relocation brackets they make a difference you feel and see in your 60' times, my thread "new times" is 2 threads below yours check it out. Your getting better keep at it.

If you want to go faster put you stock 16's back on all 4 corners inflate the fronts to 40+ psi and deflate the rears to 20psi. Having 18's screws with our gearing ratio-just makes the 3.23's act like 3.08's. I'm surprised your not getting better 60's with that aftermarket torque arm, any wheel hop coming out of the hole?

If you have a stock stall dr's will bog your car out of the hole-I don't recall what brand but a local with same mods and stock stall was bogging with dr's and ended up going back to his street tires. His best is a 12.8.

Looks like good weather today so another round tonight. I may try it with the cutout open and may try flashing the converter this time.

They also help with traction issues and wheel hop as well.
