bad day at track, help
i have a 03 gt with exhaust and a vortech v2, 5 spd, everything else is completely stock. i was running on m/t radials. this was my first time at the track, so i wasnt sure what to expect out of it, but hoping for low 13's. i only ran 3 times, and my best was a 14.0! i was very dissappointed, the m/t's hooked up fantastic, but as soon as i launched my car would bog all the way down to about 2k rpm, and i would have to climb back up. my 60' was a horrible 2.26. it almost felt like my traction control was on when i launched, but obviously i had turned it off! any ideas on whats goin on feel free to share!

i will try to answer all the questions, it has no suspension mods, stock 327 gears, stock cluck, basically everything is stock on the car except the exhaust and supercharger. the tires have about 20 psi in them, and i launched at about 3500k. i do not think traction is the issue at all, i launched hard with barely any slippage, and i shifted at red line. i will try to get the slip posted tonight when i get home

This is your problem. 3500 is way too low for your application. You don't get much low end with a centri charger, especially with 3.27 gears. You should be leaving closer to 4500-5k RPM with your set-up. If you end up getting 4.10s, then naturally you'll need to back off the RPM on launch.

yeah it is tuned, and i did upgrade the injectors and pump and everything else that goes along with the vortech. although someone told me they saw white smoke come out of my tailpipes when i shifted, so maybe the tune is messed up. i was kinda scared to launch at a higher rpm since my whole suspension/axle/transmission and everything else is stock, didnt want to break anything. here is my timeslip though
r/t = .108
60' = 2.263
330 = 6.130
1/8 = 9.210 @ 79.47mph
1000= 11.850
1/4 = 14.042
mph = 103.47
