Horrible 1/4 time in PI GT
I went to the track today ran the car 4 times I didnt spin off the line either time.
the 89 and 93 octane tunes are for the 97 engine with NPI parts.
Also has this white smoke out the Driver side(only) tail pipe see vid
1st ran 17.8 at 86 mph with a 3.2 60 foot on a 87 oct tune for a 97 GT Car wouldnt shift redlining for 3 sec each shift

2nd ran stock tune running 16.9 @ 82 mph with a 3.2 60 foot with almost same result as 1st run

3rd 93 octane tune running 15.9 @ 86 mph with a 3.1 60 foot car shifted ok

4th run 93 octane and manually shifted running 15.7 @ 82 mph with a 3.2 60 foot

The car Feels like it has no torque at all in the lower RPMs with a 3.0 + 60 foot while flooring first and not spinning. Even outside the track I cannot spin in first from a dead stop on street tires.
Could the car be running lean down low?
Could it be the Tunes?
Or what else could cause this problem I have checked all the vacumm lines multiple times.

Would that help with the low end torque or just help the shift points? The torque is whats killing my times the shifting I fixed by doing it manually, I was so frustrated after I got my 2nd timeslip.

PI swap = dyno tune time
it depends on the tuner...call around, ive been told 125 and ive been told 450, both with having the tuner...so just call around and talk to local tuners and see what they charge
