first time at gateway
is it possible that i cracked a spark plug on the header install? i didn't replace them but it doesn't seem to idle rough, and felt like it picked up alot from headers + tune, or could i have foul'd them out running with no tune/

I cant remember but i think you didnt do burnouts very long? When the light turned green did you push it to the floor or ease into it? How manymiles are on the car? Did you manually the auto trans? What size tires do you have? Do you have a handheld tuner?

First of. all it has higher miles so it might not run as good as a car with 40000 miles. Also manually shift your auto. If you havent already delete your torque management. Also bring sticky tires. With manual shifting i bet you can get a .2 off. When are you going next?
Your 1.76mph slower in the 1/8 then me.But I bet that almost 2000 feet DA is hurting you. My times are in about 1000 feet less then you.But my car only has 56K miles and new plugs and wires. That's why your 60fts where bad because your spinning. My PB is a 1.97 but on a worse time I'm on street tires..My car has seen better results from Idle to wot and keeping it in OD.

Verdad Gallardo yeah, im gonna do spark plugs, plug wires, poly motor mounts (stop headers from hitting floor board),knock sensors, and my tuner to log it.
and yea im sure the da really isnt helping
also, how much do you weigh?
my tuner seemed really sure that with a lower 60 foot and and new knock sensors/motor mounts id be 12's for sure

Ive personally did it and it made me go .23 faster. You shouldnt hit the limiter if you know what you are doing. You also dont have od in 1 2 and 3
went to the tuners Tuesday, not pulling any timing but holy **** shift points were all messed up, was commanding 1-2 shift at 71mph, we got it all figured out, i bought new spark plugs and wires, new air filter, and joe went a little more aggressive on the tune because it had max of .9 degrees timing. but looking at the time slip if i can get down to 1.9-1.8 60 foot that alone should get me 13.00 or 12.9s, and the shift points being fixed helps a ton, im hoping for very low 13's or high 12s this next time out, should be this coming Tuesday if theres no rain. and my 315 drs should help a bit to
