i dont know whats up, im hoping to hit 11's now with spray no lift shift, the nano system will help as well, i did all the suspension first so it hooks much much better, and no it wont be on the 20" i havent decided if i need a set of race stars since the time i get back from this deployment the track will be closed, or if ill be fine with a set of DR on my stockers.

I bounce the limiter as I cross the line. If I have a bad launch and spin even a little, I end up having to shift into 4th. Keep in mind, I shift first and second at 6500 as well. Also, I've been told that Hoosiers measure slightly taller than their rated size.

Soooo... 93 Race Tune with Hot Rods and I finally beat my stocker time.. by almost a whole 0.03 seconds... WTF?
Haven't got the whole launch thing figured out... best 60' time was when I bogged the engine (2.05).. but, if you look at the 1000 foot times, it's NO better than stock with a 2.2 at the 60' line.. WTF?
Limited it to 3 runs... on the third run something "slapped" the body hard on the 2nd gear shift.. I'm assuming I lost a bushing in a LCA... :eyeroll:
All I can say is WTF?

this is what I was going to point out. temps and track conditions make a hell of a difference. you do not appear to be tracking that : )

Your better time was done in October, and your new time done in the heat of the summer... so that pretty much solves it for me. In the cooler months I would be running low 13s. In the warmer months I'd be running high 13s - 14s. Holding 3rd gear is best on 3.55s in my opinion and I would typically shift a little higher closer to redline.
Also the tune does play a factor and so do the miles. Track conditions, tire conditions/wear/etc... Lot of things to factor in over a span of 3 years.
Edit:
Also I noticed you're running AM Bullits + Nittos. Sorry, but I think the stock wheel/combos are much better performance wise. You probably added over 100lbs total of rotational weight, and the better tires aren't making up for that gain.
