a 1.7 60' resulting with a 13.0 ET....wtf??? what tune is he running?

That should have been a mid 12 car with all those bolt on's and that 60' for sure.........
i know.......another one of my buddies has very similar mods, without the udp's i think, and is running a 12.6. i know its the guy's tune. hes getting a brenspeed tune soon. the car is modded but doesnt pull as hard as it should

Hope he gets it sorted out cause when he does, she going to fly for sure...........
me 2. hes so frustrated and i would be too.

Frustration sucks when it comes to this type of stuff, Can't blame at all. He'll get there!

I bet the car is gonna be unbelievably different. Everybody agrees that that car is missing something up top, because thats a pretty damn good 60ft. He's gonna like the tune from Brent or Doug either way

FWIW, I rode 3rd out to the end of the quarter on that run. My 60 sucked *** but I made up down the track I guess. I wish I could remember what I was shifting at...I think it was about 6000 or a hair under.

With that good of a 60' time, it is obvious that his current tune is too lean or too rich in the upper rpms and isnt getting the top end he should see

what is fwiw?

really, I dont think my 3rd goes to 104... but i have the stock 3.55 gears. I'm still question my size rims (being 18's) & how they effect me at the track. I got to atco, and i hear that a great track as fair as temp, & it was nice out.
