Default why do my times suck?

tonight i ran a 11.21 at 123 with a 1.56 60'. my mods are all bolt on (slp headers), cartek 224/228 584/588 @ 113, tea stage two heads, 12 bolt with 4:30 (which is now howling like a pack of wovles hopefully Billingsley will take care of me), 28 inch et drags and a 100 shot wet. i only dynoed 390rwhp 390rwt N/A through a ten bolt with 3:42. the car was tuned by AMS. what the hell is wrong? <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Cool down my friend. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Give us more info about you Hot Rod. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

What are your 60fts?

What rpm are you launching at?

Remember a bad day drag racing is better than a good day working.

Peace,
Coach

she is an 01 ws6. she is a little on the heavy side since it has a system in it but by no means is nothing crazy. my 60' was a 1.56. i also have a spec III carbon cluth.

Actually, that looks like a pretty damn good ET/MPH to me... Especially if your car is a little on the heavy side, as you mentioned...

were you spraying on those runs though?? If they are NA, those numbers are awesome for a heavy car! Anything in the 10.9-11.5 range is good for stage 2 heads/cam

al, i would seriously look into a different PROVEN camshaft....those LG packages are kicking some serious *** right now! GTP heads/Pig cam, MTI heads/X1 cam, Thunder heads and cam are all PROVEN packages that make hella good numbers...my opinion is that it is the heads and cam that are slowing you down...N/A you should be seeing high 10.9-11.3 and then solid 10's on bottle, like we talked about today. Anyway, i'll have those vids along with alan's vid's ripped late tonight, i'll see if i can get matt to host em...

i was hitting the juice on that run. my bottle was full and it never dropped below 950psi. i think my heads are fine. on a 600 lift they flowed 304 intake and 260 exhaust. any other sudjestions would be greatly apriciated. i am for sure changing my headers to some thunder racing 1 3/4. would you think the 1 7/8 are too much?

Did you tune with the spray on the dyno?
What fuel system are you running? What is your AF and timing on spray?

do you have an NA tune and a nitrous tune?
