How about moving this thread the General Discussion?

Do you have anymore specs of the track? What was the DA?

a little spin has been known to increase trap speed a tad but a 2.2 is bad enough so that it probably wouldn't help the trap at all. There has been cases when the ET's & or MPH have been off at tracks. Go again on a different day and see if you can duplicate the results if by some chance you do, try another track. If your car traps anywhere near 108mph, then you have more mods than you have listed. Did you buy the car new?? Either way, I find it had to believe that a 2v would trap 108mph with stock cams (unless the car is totally gutted) and I'd like to think that even if you bought the car used, you'd be able to hear that it had cams, if it did.

Not sure what "DA" means but, this was at Milan Dragway in Michigan.

What other specs would you like?

I agree...i will definantely try another track... because it really seems to good to be true.

I bought the car bone stock with 11k.

The mods in my sig are very accurate!

DA means Density Altitude. Looks like that track is 593 feet above sea level. I did some calculations with the air temp being 55*, barometric pressure at 30 inches and humidity at 28% (these numbers are what the track was reading at
about 9 P.M.) your DA was 432 feet with your relative density at 98.74%.

Given those numbers, I think your times are accurate but the MPH is off. Somewhere like Atco that is real close to sea level (33 feet above) will yield better times. Im gonna have to agree with 01GT4.6 here and say that the track is off on their MPH.

I do have subframe connectors! I just didn't think it made much of a difference with my current setup.

there is something wrong but it only looks like it is with the mph. if you have a 2.2 60ft then i would expect a 13.6+. and with the n2o you just shaved .6 off your time and added 8mph (wich also sounds about right). if you trapped at 104-105 n/a in reality and a 111-112 trap on n2o, isnt that right on par? Seems like its almost reading 4-5mph off.

if you got some better tires and got your short time down youll be right where you wana be at n/a and should be able to see a lot better times with n20. just gota put it to the ground.
