Bad track times
Bad track times Today I went to the track with the T\A and got some disapointing times.the car has stage 2 5.3 heads and a TSP 224 cam, built tranny with a Yank ST3500 TC in it.It also has suspension mods and nittos. my best time of the day was 
60ft 1.78
1\4 mile 12.29
MPH 110.65
Granted it was real close to 100 degrees out but still. I think the TC is messed up because I had to launch the **** out of her just to get that 60ft. And just one other thing the track was prepped very well and was able to launch without any tire spin. Any input would be helpful .
Thanks,
Kyle

Hey welcome, to the slowass H/C club. LOL Just bustin your chops, but it's not as small of a club as some might think, cause alot of guys who's H/C cars don't run low 11s and high 10s (like they're all supposed to LOLOLOL) don't post their times.
You're converter could be at fault. I got a 3500 stall Pro Torque in my car and since doing that mod all my 60' times are in the mid 1.6s on 245 nittos. The converter and 3.42s took my car from 12.4-12-5 (stock verter and 2.73s) down to 11.8s.
But the weather has alot to do with it. Heat and humidity will affect TQ production more than HP. On a hot day you can be down 2 mph but you'll be down 3-4 tenths.
