A tenth off isn't bad, but you need to give more info, Is all the 60' the same, what about mph? You need to find out where the car is loosing the tenth. Is it traction or power? If the 60' is worse, it prolly the track going away as it sometimes tends to do as the night gets cooler. Or if you loose mph then the car may be getting head since. Try leaving the hood up in the stagin lanes and don't let it idle a bunch. If there is a few friends with ya you can always push the car til it gets further up in the staging lanes.

a tenth off a my track equals a loss my 60ft is of 1 or 2 at most when it happens mph is the same whichshould only lose .5 at most by the numbers. just wondering if its the sensors or something else been racing along time an understand the weather an track conditions but if i make 4 passes in an hour 1/2 the forth is more likely to run off mine boggling an can't handle the fuel injection cars use to carb. thanks for your help

Get HPTuners and there is a lot of little things you can do to make it deadly consistant. As long as I am hooking consistently, my car will run within 1-2 hundreths all night long.
