Default Pitiful times on 90shot

I just dont get it. A few weeks ago I ran 8.7s n/a. I spray and my best run was 8.4@86 mph. At the 1/4 mile track I was running 8.3-8.4 n/a and 12.9s
I'm spraying a 90shot dry and my mph is not any higher and ET is not any lower.
60fts are 1.9 and 2.0.

What really pisses me off the most is my 98 AUTO Trans-am with 273 gears was running 8.0s at 86-87 mph. No juice, just headers/exhaust/lid and 3500tci stall. 8.0 1/8s and 12.5s @ 107.

Now my ws6 was running 12.9 @ 109 with macs/corsa and a lid.
I just dont get why my mph is not up with nitrous. I have never had any luck at the local 1/8th and our 1/4 mile track closed down, even still I dont understand why my times are not any better.

Powers gone up... tractions gone down.. Time to look @ your 60fts.
Radials and suspension, the fun never stops.

makes no sense to me. 60fts have not changed. If the power has gone up than the mph should have as well.

how about your 330 times, if you are not hooking in second your et/mph will suffer as well... how is the traction in the first 330 feet?

Hmm I dunno man I putdown 20 60 fts also. aAnd I have the following mods in my sig. I ran 8.217 on crappy street tires man and trapped about 90 mph. When are you kicking in the nitrous and what kind of kit are you running? It dont add up to me either. But you said your other car had a stall. Stalls are lethal in a auto lt1 or ls1. Can drop you up to half a second with good tires.

Nitrous was coming on at 3200 and off at 5100.
Found out what the problem was, maf. Went to the dyno, car was running extremely lean.
