Default Question about my MPH?

Well when I first tested out my new setup, I was running 11.20s at 116, then I believe the following weekend or might of been next, I was running 11.30s at 118. This past weekend I was running 119. Just wondering how I picked up MPH when I didnt change anything.

Could be weather, could be you shifted the car better. Might want to compare the weather.

If you were spinning off the line and you dead hooked before that could also be part of it. Weather plays a big factor too though like PSJ mentioned.

I wish I had that problem! Is your car a M6 or A4? What is your setup?

Well the weather when I was running 119 was definately better. DA was -1104 on the 119 mph passes, then on the 11.30 (118 mph) passes the DA was +229, and finally the DA for the 11.20s (116 mph) was -750. On the 11.22 pass, that was my last best before getting the 11.08, it was with a 1.58 60 ft. which was the slowest 60 ft. of that night. New best is 1.48 60 ft. with a 11.08 ET @ 119.68 short shifting the 1-2 shift.

-1100 DA is great air. Every 700ft is worth a tenth.

i know a lot of times i post higher than normal trap speeds it seems that the 60ft is a little off of what it should be. i.e. a 1.70 60 ft always seems to give me a better trap speed than a 1.63. It just works out that way for me. I don't know why but i figure that it would be the same for you.
