Default Went back to the track yesterday...

I went back to the track yesterday after I was disapointed 2 weeks ago with my last outing at the track. Where I ran a 13.43@101 with a 1.81 60ft. Went to a different track this time around and ran a best of 13.16@102 with a 1.78 60ft and a 8.34 1/8 mile. Both outings were in 90 degree weather. Mods are Edge 3200 stall, LT's/ORY, Hooker catback, tune, and MT et streets. Still not completely happy with those times granted it was 90 degrees out and my car weighs almost 3700 lbs. I feel the converter is inefficient up top past the 1/8 mile the times start to slow down and my mph. Also the day I installed the converter my car has had a problem idling as soon as it starts to warm up. I tried changing both o2 sensors and raising the idle but it still wants to stall? Anybody have an idea what could be the problem?

Nice times.
What does it sound like when it's stalling..like there is a strain on the Engine to stay running?

If it was the Stall..it would do it all the time. You have something up with the Tune..there is a spot that you can control the Idle RPM's while it's in and not in Gear.
