How much potential does my car have?
How much potential does my car have? I've had some dissapointing track times lately.
In July at West Texas Raceway:
1.93 / 8.85 @ 79.43 / 13.81 @ 99.55
The DA was around 7200ft and it was about 90* with a high humidity
Since that run I descreened the MAF and tuned with MAFT. I was running lean and getting 4*KR.
Last week at Temple Academy:
Worst run: 2.59 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> / 9.37 @ 81.96 / 14.09 @ 103.7
Best run: 2.28 / 9.08 @ 81.65 / 13.80 @ 106.5
It was the Import Shootout that same night so the FWD cars were bringing water to the tree...I was running Nitto drags at 20psi, and I still couldn't hook even with feathering it out. With my converter I should be pulling 1.7X's - 1.8X's at a decent track, so I should be running low 13's at least. Anyone have some imput? It sucks having a slow car.

Every LS1 has potential. Keept at it!

I need to go down to HRP and give that one a shot, its only 2hrs way.
All my runs were on Nitto drags! It sure didn't feel like it at Temple though.

Re: How much potential does my car have? how much potential does your car have should not be the question. the question should be how much money do you want to spend? your car can run 10's if thats what you want,$$$$$$$. $5,000 later i ran 11.7's,lets see what another $5,000 will get me this year. goodluck to ya.
