1st time at track results, please step in
The weather that night, sucked.Heat index was at least 100, temp was in the 90's. Im sure you weren't the only one, that didn't run as expected. I was on the hill, watchin' the races, sweatin' my butt off, lol.

Any updates on the changes made?? You didn't mention front susp. mods, definately have to loosen the front end! I run SA QA1s w/275# springs set at 2-3 from full loose and no swaybar, that gives some good weight transfer. ET Streets like a little lower psi than the 15-18 you,re running. And you better put a new rear on your Christmas list if you're going to spray it!! Hope this helps, post some updates! Larry
I don't think this is a suspension issue. Something is sketchy with the setup. look for the obvious small stuff before you start throwing parts at it. If you want to PM me and we can brainstorm. I would like to see what this car could run. Hit me up.
Maybe check compression, PTV clearance/pushrod length, and overall valvetrain health? With someone else building the car and milling the heads it could be something to check.
All the spark plugs look good?
Also with a ~1300 increase in DA I wouldn't be upset with running a similar time. I'd say you saw pretty good gains from those tuning changes.

before my next outing, im going to buy a FAST 102 setup, my tuner thinks that my intake/tb is holding me back. and im going to chalk my tire to see if im spinning off of the line, because i can't tell since i am new to the track. my best slip last night was a 7.68@90.43 and a 1.68 sixty.
I agree. What intake are you running now? My bolt on car ran 7.55@89.x with a ss4000 with same weight you are. With a 3.23 gear also. Check the plugs and see how they look.
my vote goes to a converter restall. I also have a 3600 converter/3.23 gears and I ran a 7.71 @ 91mph in the 1/8. My car puts down a little over 400/400 on the rollers. Next season I'm coming out with a 4400 converter and 3.73 gears.
Yea there's something wrong. My bolt on car with a VERY tight 3400 nitrous converter runs 7.6@90-91 on motor while only making 353hp/336tq. Your car just doesnt seem to be pulling like it should up top for the mods you have.
