What was the da on your passes? Numbers do seem low. I would expect you at least running a 12.5 in anything under 2000 da with that 1.8 60' and trap around 109.

I ran a 12.93 hot cam only and mid tubes with a 1.8 60ft and NO TUNE. I then added AFR 180cc heads and a tune and made 340rwhp with 3500 unlocked converter and ran 11.98 @115 1.68 60ft

so how fast is your dyno? ill say again and again and AGAIN........WE DONT RACE DYNOS!!! .........take ur car to the track and get some slips for us and the DA when u made them and we will tell u if its a dog or not......a dyno slip means NOTHING

ive got a dyno local to me that reads very odd......of course the guy insists that its right.......my old 355 in my car at 3450lbs made 349 to the tire on his dyno......car ran 11.5@ 119-120 all day long
my 385 when I first built it made 429 to the tire and at the same 3450lbs it turned 10.6x @ 129

as you see numbers can lie epically if the person running the dyno refuses to set it up correctly

Great Lakes hooks in cold weather. I have gone there when it was cold and soon as a few quick cars show up and one fast one they will go so far as prepping a whole lane when only a few cars need it.

I have run there when it was so cold they stopped putting water in the box for fear of it freezing, granted I didn't run my best 60fts that day but did OK.

You can't credit that all to suspension. There is such a wide variance of track conditions/prep it's sickening. People using slicks at certain tracks only to run the same kind of 60' times others do on radials at a different track. One track may have so much compound it's textured and would take the tied shoe off your foot whereas another will have groves and bare asphalt.
