@Explosive, unfortunately, we rented out the track and werent getting slips, we just looked at the screen after every pass. And out of frustration with the times i forgot to pay attention at the speeds...
car felt the same at every point so i think it wouldve been around the usual 168km/h

Damn, no time slips?? that holds the key to everything. If your 60 fts. didn't budge your times won't change. Ditto on the shift points on shifting higher + the FRPP intake manifold to take advantage of that cam and higher flowing intake. You're running stock springs and retainers on a comp cam?

@Stealth, yes it's an NSR cam, my 60ft times were worse than what i'm used to (stripped, skinnies and slicks), was usually around 1.9, best i could come up with that day was 2.0xx.
Even then, not much worse than what im used to. i was just expecting the car to pull harder at the top end. trying different tunes this weekend from Bama and a remote tune from Lund

I'd be more concerned about the 60 ft. than anything else. The tune can be figured out, I'd be more concerned why it's not cutting at least 1.8's or even better considering your stall and weight (roughly 3400?). I wouldn't expect it to pull any differently up top if your running the same shift points as before (6259?), I'd assume a 6500 shift point would be best with your new set up. I don't think it would even start to make power until past the shift points you have right now.
I used to run only Doug Bama's tunes and they worked amazing on my Mustang..

@stealth, i understand the importance of the 60ft, you're also the 20th guy on here thats told me that. Our track is completely unprepped.
Here's a clip;
The Cobra Jet runs low tens (~10.1 - 10.4) 60ft is 1.8's
CBA GTR's here also, 1.8
This was pre cam and intake
My shift points are set at 6475RPM.
My point was before my intake and cams, i coulve also worked in my 60ft.
I want to make these parts work for me. I'll try to get more feedback from Bama to see what they think i should set my shift points at

damn.. I assumed it was at least an IHRA track, but a track is a track.. I had no idea it was straight up concrete lol.. never seen that before. Rest assured if it had been a IHRA prepped track you should be running way better times. Start up tunes are rough anyways, sounds like it just needs to be dialed in.
