first time at gateway
first time at gateway i did 5 passes, first 4 were between 13.70-13.79 and the last one was 13.83.
best 60 foot was 2.19, worst was 2.33
traps were all 104, not sure whats going on just couldnt launch worth a ****
it was also my first time there, so i dont think i did to bad with only longtubes ory tune and lid mph wise.
i also have 2.73 rear gears
da was 1843 at 9pm which was my last and worse pass, 13.830 2.330 60 foot and 104.2 mph

yea i have no idea what was up with that, no matter what i did i couldnt get it down at all. im gonna try with my 315/35/17 nt05r's. i had nt555s 275/40/17s on today.
the track seemed a little slippery still, nobody i know was getting really good 60 foots.
im planning on getting a 3.42 rear end out of a m6 car to replace my crappy 2.73's, and ill bring some drag radials next time, what else should i do to get that 60 foot down?

your car is missing AT LEAST 5mph!!! MINIMUM!!! runs like a STOCK car.. and not just stock, but a SLOW stock car... not hating on you, but you gotta figure out what is wrong!! SERIOUSLY dude, thats a full second off pace..... something aint right.. you gotta any issues goin on that youre not tellin us????
Not that I know of, only thing I can think of is the 2.73s are holding me back, but still I thought it would be faster. It was also my first time at a drag strip ever. I was thinking it would be high 12's which looks right with a 1.8 60 foot

Also I think muffler is a restriction, it's a dynamax turbo 1 in 2 out. I'm gonna get a cut out and see if that helps. I had lm1 on it but it was welded bad so I thought this was a good replacement, but right after it felt slower
EDIT: talked to my tuner about knock sensor code i had/have, he said its pulling 8 degrees of timing, hes gonna go out with me one day and log the run and we'll see

My PB with 273s and stock stall with bad knock sensors. with LT's/ORY/Free Mods/Lid/K&N/NGK TR55s/8.5mm MSD/Smooth bellows.is an 2.03 60ft 12.97@107.88. The DA was 890-960..
Oh ya what did the 1/8 look like and how much mph did you gain from the 1/8 to the 1/4. My car does its best from Idle to wot with stock stall/gear
