Need some advice/help I took my car out to the track to get some times on the spray and something isn't right. The car is a M6 on a 315 nitto drag radial, so the time sucks but where's my mph??? The car is only doing 95-96mph in the 1/8th but traps 130 in the quarter. It's picking up 33-34MPH on the big end, but where's the 1/8th mph????
Thoughts?
Also the car on the last set-up always went 122-123MPH N/A with 470RWHP, now with 18 more to the tire its only going 119mph???

I'm a little confused. Did you change your entire set up? Your last sentence says you're trapping 3-4mph slower N/A, so I would assume so. What changes were made?

Last set-up was a set of ETP ported truck heads, milled and a 244/248 camshaft. I was having problems pushing water on a 150 shot, so I called up Ron@Vengeance and ordered a set of TFS 225's and a custom nitrous camshaft. The new combo netted me 18 more RWHP than previous. My thoughts are with 18RWHP more the car should do the same if not a tad more MPH, N/A, but its not. I even let my buddy drive the car who can drive his *** off and he could only get 119mph out of the car...

I don't have access to a scanner but the slip goes as follows:
60'- 1.99
330- 5.246
1/8- 7.775
MPH- 96.85
1000- 9.911
1/4- 11.667
MPH- 129.85
spray comes on in 2nd gear and its a full 150 once it hits. Window switch is 3800-6600, shifting at 6800

Bottlefed, what's your a/f set at for the bottle? In addition to not spraying off the line, you could also be too rich.
Also, your n/a mph decrease could be from the weather. It was still 80+ degrees this past week. Didn't you add more weight to your ride since the last time I talked with you?

I could see the weather being a factor because some other people were down 5MPH also.
A/F is a 11.0 all the way across the band and timing is only 21*
I actually pulled about 175lbs out of the car...
