Default WTF? Only .10 w/ TR224 cam????

OK, went out to try the new TR224/114 at the track after installing it last Fri. Went a disappointing 12.81. I was giving it hell, and best 60 was 2.12. Track conditions were good, but it was really humid. I haven't had it tuned yet, but is this normal???? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Man, the humidity, no tuning, poor 60 foot are all working together against your ET's.

Get it tuned, get those Nittos to hook or lose em, and wait and see what cooler air will bring. You will be happy then.

How can I improve my 60 foot? I've tried slipping the clutch at 2300, dumping the clutch, and everything I can think of without spinning. Can someone give me a proven way to launch? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

You probly answered your own question by saying it's not tuned yet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Did you pick up any mph?

I wasn't expecting 11's, but 1 tenth, and 1 mph? I know that tuning will help, but I've already dynoed around 390rwhp. Is it just my gears (stock 3.42)?
