Default track times

well went to the track tonight , it was test and tune . i got 6 runs in and it was pretty consistent for a stick 13.52-13.65 . I really wasn't worried about my et , cause I have stock rear, tires and suspension , but I was disappointed with my trap speeds all were 103 except one which was 104 . I was expecting 106to 108 traps with the new tune , so I guess I 'll data log and try and find where I'm losing . its bitter sweet I guess , with tires and rear should b a 12.9 to 13.0 . but I really feel there is more to b had

What was the weather like? temp? humidity?
The vortechs are somewhat sensitive, in that in higher heat, it'll make less boost.
With temps around 50-60*, my vortech would net a little over 12 psi at the intake manifold, but then with temps around 100*, boost would drop into the upper 10s.

My best track upper 12s track times were in cooler 50-60* temps. With temps around 95 or so, times would slow to around 13.2s-13.4s; same setup otherwise, just differences in the weather.

Get your 60's down, too, to get better times.

have fun with her!!! And kick some GT butt!!!

yeah it was warm at first. 89 degrees and humid at 6:00 , but it cooled off pretty good by 8:45 and I still didn't gain much . I do remember seeing 12.2 pounds @ 6200 on my second run . I think my biggest problem is that I did the mail tune , even though its through a good company , it just doesn't compare to dyno tune

Were you spinning ? i know you have street tires but under your picture it says you have your car lowered. Is that right? My buddy saw your set up and said "that guy probably street races" lol. He said lowering a car will make it spin off the line but better on the hwy. Just keep going and like the other guy said try to get that 60' down.

well anything over 1200 rpm and it spins because I have open diff. and street tires , thats what is killing my 60' . lol I don't street race too much , but occasionally get a 350z or Camaro that wants to play , most people see the single exhaust and think , hell its just a 6 cylinder !!!

Ya the street tires and open diff make it harder for sure. once you get a locked rear and slicks or drag radials your times should be better. idk how to upload pics or i would have uploaded my time slip but type "108sbso" into youtube and you can see how a locked diff and drag radials really help your launch. The nitrous doesnt hurt either lol
