somebody give me a clue? OK. here's the deal. my best ET so far has been a 13.04 before i removed my cats and added an xpipe. i went to the track this past friday and ran a 13.6 & 13.7??????? the only thing i have had changed since that was the MAF (switched from a GMAF back to descreened stock). the only thing i have to add is that there was a freaking monsoon right before so it was pretty humid. i havent got a clue why it dropped so much?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: somebody give me a clue? here's an explanation: take that POS off!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I dont know anything about it, but if something caused that much of a loss, who would want s part like that on their car? Unless something else is wrong. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Re: somebody give me a clue? Alright...
Telling us the ETs that you ran means nothing and you cant judge anything by that. Your 60ft can vary by a whole second based upon your 60ft time.
What was the MPH the first time and the MPH the last time you ran?
If you went 13.1@106 and then went back to the track and went 13.7@110 the car is faster you just need to learn how to read the timeslip.

What you really need to do is post both timeslips from your previous run and the run after mods to give you more insight. Here in Az density altitudes can change from a morning low of 800 feet to 5700 feet or worse! That is in less than 24 hours.
