I would get it back to the dyno. Looks like something isn't right. Your 60' isn't great given the tires, but it still isn't bad enough to land you with low 13s and high 12s with that low of a trap. The only other thing I can think of is maybe your hitting boost past the 60' mark, then losing traction?

boost leak sounds about right to me


but that's just me speculating... at the track running hard on a fairly new single turbo setup, meh, I could see some plumbing working a little loose

I thought I would throw a guess out there to see if I'm right or not xD

with that 60' and low trap speed and my inability to see the time slip cuz i'm at work, heh, i'm thinking maybe you are just spinning a ton through 1st and 2nd. How much MPH is he picking up on the back end?

edit... also... what RPM are you shifting at OP? Maybe you are shifting too early and falling out of boost?

Got a dyno graph for us to look at?

Yea that was the first thing I noticed. The trap was way off. You should be trapping over 115+. What's your DA? If your close to sea level you have a problem.

he is in FL, at 10:30pm on 11/11/09.. if he was at orlando speedway it was 1211 because of low pressure at that time. still doesn't have enough DA to change his time that badly.. especially running boost..

23mph on the big end..... Car seems to be pulling strong up top for such a weak trap.

The op has to get some control arms if he wants to improve on his 60'. I was at the track with a guy with a twin turbo set up making 500/580 and had no suspension work. During the burnout it looked almost like his wheel was going to come off because of his axle going in all different directions. And he couldn't do better than a 12.5.

Op, where is the turbo mounted? I know of one guy who couldn't turn in a good time b/c he had a rear mounted turbo and it wouldn't get hot enough for the track. That would explain the low trap and picking up a lot on the big end once the turbo finally gets some heat.

Hard to believe that Ford put THAT bad a suspension in those cars. Sad for you guys.

It only takes a about 200 bucks to fix the problem. And gm made up for it by putting in window motors that go out all the time
