This thread makes no sense.

In for results for what went wrong. Talk with Frost, if nothing there, something hard parts related is wrong.

I went .3 slower and 1mph faster with a lid/muffler/tune, a4 with street tires and 190k miles.

your giving up et badly on both ends , get that 60 to even 1.7 and you will be 12.7/12.8 then figure out the low trap to get it deep 12's.

You have any means to scan it ? so many tune & mechanical issues that could be causing you issues time to start narrowing down.

vacuum leaks ? fuel filter been done ? fuel psi ok at wot? , plugs/wires ok ? bad coil? intake restriction ? etc.....

did you leave it idling in the staging lanes and heat soak it? sounds like you have been running other quick cars so your likely all over those simple things .

were you having trouble hooking up at all or was it ******* its way to the 1.9 60 ft? front sway bar on or off? flashing to full stall from idle or brake torqueing/preloading it ?

Your 60 ft is not very good at all. What is the altitude of the track or what was the density air the day you raced?

I would try flashing the convertor by mashing it from idle , you didn't have tire spin so hit it harder. that alone should get you into top 12's - you were so close....

did it have any issues shifting into 3rd ? did you leave it OD or try to manually shift it (try leaving it in od) what rpm is it shifting at ? pick up a couple mph at least in trap and your et will drop some more then it will be closer to normal for mods in place
