My car sucked at the track? what gives? Ok... I have not been to the track in over 3 years... (got my car new in 2000)
Since then, my car has gotten a New Z06 clutch, 4:10 gears, Edelbrock torque arm and boxed trailing arms. I have 94K miles... change to NGK plugs about 10K miles ago with new MSD wires. My car dynoed 310 to the wheels N/A a few years before the gears.
NOW... I do have a issue... My car is showing the upper CAT code, I guess they are Bad?
Anyway, I ran
14.0 at 102.9 2.27 60ft
13.9 at 101 2.12 60ft.
and over REV third and redlighted... went 14.6@100 2.3 60ft
I suck...
ANYWAY... my best time prior was 13.5 at 104... no suspension mods and stock 3.42
Oh... I was going 12.8 at almost 114 with the 75 shot of NOS...
What do you think???

No car does not stumble... I put plugs in it about a year ago. NGKI do have that issue with the factory cats? maybe it is clogged up and not allowing the motor to beath...
I check my K&N... it is BLACK. I need to clean it or get a new one.
It sucks ...because the car runs fine... I felted fast? But I am off .4th and 2mph... and I have done mods since then??
Oh the race when I ran 14.0... it was against a 99 auto Z28... he went 14.0 at 102 also....
