what was your 1/8th mph on the 117 pass?
looks like the trans when looking at the slip you posted. you'd think tq management would affect it more on the first half, not the last..
i'd guess something in the drivetrain, trans or converter. the mysterious 117 pass is odd though.

make sure you try both lanes...like I was saying one time out track mph was off by 4mph in the right lane...ET was correct but the mph was wrong...
I think it was due to electrical problems from a lightning strike the night before...

ya somthing it up.
my buddy kinda did the same thing. did cam, and some other things. and only gained like 3 tenths, and car car was going a little slower for the nest 2 track visits till the stock trans lost a gear. but got that fixed, and after a summer of track passes and some small changing is the setup, not really adding any mods the gain power. worked it down to mid/low 11's abnd still going fastest. somthing is up with your car, but you don't put a cam in ger retuned and go from low 12's to 11's like everyone would like your 1st time.

back from the dead. Im confused here, first off the track was CRAPPY best 60ft of the night was
1.73
7.72 @91 mph
12.02 @117 MPH
YOU GUYS THINK A 1.62 60FT WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ME DOWN TO A 11.8?

Exactly my thoughts.. The car is laying over on the top end.
60' slowed down .015
1/8 ET Gained .185 with 3.649mph
1/4 ET Gained .359 with 1.451mph
What do you have for a fuel system? Perhaps it's not keeping up on the big end?
Is your converter locking up? Is it locking up in the same place as it did before? If so, perhaps adjust it's lock up points. I've seen my own truck loose .3ish and 4mph by not locking the verter up. Now I do have an 80E with a very inefficient verter.
Do you have a way to data log your runs? If so, Did you data log the run?
Did you make more than one pass? What do those look like.

Update: I went back to the tuner today to get my speedometer corrected and for him to look at my tune. He noticed something with the lockup setting in the tune( he forgot to reset it, it wasn't not locking up until 4 gear or something). He said that should have me down et to were i suspose to be and MPH up around the 119-120 range.

yea man thats not right... converter doesnt lock under WOT so either your confusing what your tuner is saying or you need a new tuner... Only a multidisk converter can be locked at WOT while not on the dyno but even then gains may be minimal....
