Second time to the Strip
Hey guys, I'm just now getting around to posting about my runs because I really have some questions.
About a month ago I took my car to the drag strip for the first time and felt like I was getting a decent feel for the car. At this point the car had Stock Tires, CAI, LT Headers, PTB, and a Janetty Tune.
Granted the temps were only about 85-90 with medium amount of humidity, the best I clocked was a 12.86@110mph with a 2.2 60'. I felt there was a lot of room for improvement to possibly get into the mid-low 12's with a good launch and more practice.
Since that time, I had a cam installed (219/235 .607/.619 113LSA), 25% UD Pulley, electric exhaust cutouts, then had it re-tuned. So I thought I would definitely be hitting some low 12's and maybe even high 11's with a good 60'.
I went to the track last night, temps were around 90-95 with pretty high humidity. The best I ran was a 12.595@111.78 with a 2.066 60'. I also ran a 12.628@111.85 with a 2.129 60'. I ended up being pretty disappointed to be honest.
I know I need to work on my launch, but I definitely feel the car should be trapping more than 1 mph higher and 2 tenths faster...what do you think?
Any advice or help is certainly appreciated!
