More? It should have WAY more! 112 trap speed is about 20 short of what it should be. Is the trans okay? Not slipping? What converter and gear is in the car?

Trans is fine, but the operator(me) kept trying to man shift it but it wasn't happening. And that was screwing up shift timing. Most times it would not hit 3rd til i let out a little but by then it was too late. Ran outta track tim to try (remember ) just doing a damn foot brake and let it shift itself.

The 11.9 at 112 is right on for a typical n/a setup. Seems your down about 200 hp. 3750 is hefty but not that heavy to slow you down that much. Fuel flow? Any idea? Do you have a manual boost gauge or are you relying on electronics? What rpm are you shifting at? To be down on power that much something is way off. Check for full throttle?

Why in the lords name are you running a 30inch tire? A 28 would be the ticket.

What kind of trans? If 4l60 or 80 just put it in d3 and let it shift by itself, dont do anything.

Timing is low but **** 112mph is like you were letting of half way down the track.

There is more to this story, a lot more.

Any enemies? Someone had to have yanked a spark plug or two without you knowing. Do you have any data logs of the run? Sounds like we have some work to do.

I went with a 30 because of the 3.55s, instead of most guys using a 2.73-3.08 and a shorter tire. I figured more tire equals bigger footprint and drops the 3.55 anyway.

So i just got back from some test hits. Did a bunch in D3 and manually, same ****. This was my frustrating fight on every pass. Soon as i figured out to let off a little to get a 2-3,it got faster. Driving around and up to 80%ish throttle it will auto or man shift. So until i get this figured out this is my biggest time killer. I tried making adjustments to max rpm shift but to no avail, no wot 2-3. It will wot 1-2 no problem.

Verify timing and TDC with a timing light?

Can you email or post up an hptuners file of your tune. You most likely need to adjust the shift mph. It looks at mph and rpm to command a shift. What you do to start is see what mph you are at in 2nd gear at the rpm you want to shift at. Then you lower the shift mph for 2-3 shift by 3-5mph.

So lets say you want to shift at 6000rpm, hold it in 2nd gear until you are at 6k rpm write down or save that log file.

Also you need to verify you have the correct tire size and gear ratio in the tune. That will throw things off like crazy.

Unfortunately, i can't log ****! I'm running an MSD Atomic tcu and it doesn't have logging capabilities. I'm starting to realize an expensive lesson on how important data logging is.....

Your right,I actually had that problem and changed it. Tire size was 26 instead of 30! I didn't have the controller with me to make any changes that day and i forgot to change it when i put the Drag Radials on..
car is still not right tho...
it says after wot tps threshold (lets say 98%) it will make shifts based on rpm. So i adjust it to 6000 and then 5600 rpm and still,no 2-3 shift auto on manual unless i let off a hair on the throttle. What am i doing wrong?

Sounds purely trans/tune related.

Any data log/tune file you can share?

Im thinking so too. I can't make any power/speed judgments if it won't shift properly. Unfortunately, MSD tcu or ecu for that matter has no data logging capabilities.
wish I woulda realized how important that was before....

i could buy a $1500 data logging Racepak dash tho...

I had a th400 that wouldn't shift unless I let up on the gas. Trans went soon after. Id check your trans fluid make sure it doesn't smell or look burnt.
