It's possible that the track you are at is counting the time from the green light and you are getting a late launch??... though most tracks will start when you leave the line.. depends how it's setup.. that's my only possible explanation. Especially with the gears.. I can't see 15's being possible even with a horrible driver.

I missed 3rd, went straight to 5th one time by accident hit the gas for a second before I realized it, so I shifted to 4th and still ran a 15.7 with a total mess-up run.

I dont think its the track.. Ive never heard of that before. Im guessing its all due to a 2.8 60ft hes cutting. Show us some slips and we can tell you where your messing up.

if you running a 2.8 60ft you must be launching at redline or something on street tires.

Take the hypertech, return your car to stock, then throw it in the trash.

$20 says you run better with the stock tune.

i agree...i also think you're 60' times are probably bad too. get some good tires or d/r's. work on your launch. try to just barely spin and you shoudl be seeing good times with the stock tune back in

Get some d/r's and practice launching and shifting.

I second that... with the X pipe and the exhaust with the headers I think your backpressure is thrown out the window... did you notice slower off the line in your daily routine when the whole setup went on?
the sound could be gear whine depending on the gears you got also... did you royal purple them when they went on?

Bharsen, he also put in 3.73's, which would more than compensate for the power curve shift.

It's the only thing I could think of though... theres always a chance they are poorly put on espessially if that sound is whine
