Default Help low mph with h/c

I have a 224/228 586 596 113.9 in my car right now. I only put down 379.8 RWHP before true duals and an asp pulley. My car on friday ran on the motor 12.37@110 n/a and a 11.20@121 squirting 100. Something is def not right. I have PP S2 heads ,LS6intake ,Pacesetter headers and this is all I have run. I should at least be trapping 115-116 n/a. Im going to do a compression test on the car and see what that brings.

I have more less the same problem. At 2400ft I only trapped 111MPH with my stock gears and street tires cutting a 2.36 60ft. It felt fast but I was expecting more.

Maybe a timing issue? Possibly false knock and the PCM is cutting timing, thus lack of power? Try A-tapping while running some full-bore passes and see what is going on.

What were the weather conditions? Pressure, humidity, temp? You can lose 3-4 mph pretty easy with bad conditions.

What is the elevation at the track? What did you trap there BEFORE the H/C.....If at a high elevation track thats not bad. If its in Houston that is horrendous.

Do your Pacesetters hit the k-member? If so you may be getting some false knock which can be retarding your timing, causing lack of HP. AutoTap that **** and see what the KR is and timing, may answer your question
