Post a picture of your time slip so we can see whats going on. With your mods you can get into the 11's. I was about to go to sac today but something came up, was there alot of people?

Im sorry I have no clue on how to post pictures here

For your mods and being on E85, your MPH seems low as well. I would guess you'd be at least at 119mph. I see you have the Boss manifold. What RPM were you shifting at? What gears do you have?

 

[Liln2o]

3.73 shifting just under 8k on a mail order tune I thought my mph was really low... what do I need to fix or where should I start.

I have bmr springs

And was only trying to launch at 4500 or 5k any thing lower than 4 would bog hard

You look to be losing time and mph on the back half of the track. Normally these cars pick up 24-26 mph on the back half.

with a 28" rear tire and 3.73s its going to lack MPH due to the 4-5;shift

With a 28" rear tire, he shouldn't have to shift to 5th. It's what everyone recommends for cars with 3.73s - just for that reason...to avoid shifting to 5th.

OP - did you shift to 5th?

You should ditch the DR's and get some slicks. Also should look into a tune revision or get another tuner involved. Your not to far away from shaun@AED. Your Trap speed should be higher especially on E85.

He shouldnt be shifting to 5th at all, especially since he said he is shifting close to 8k.

OP, might want to try and lower your shifting down to around 7500 and see how it does also. I was shifting high when I first started going to the track at around 7,800rpm's and dropped it down to 7,500 and felt alot smoother.

Yea no 5th gear for me i honestly will not be happy till i get a low 11 pass n/a im kinda far but i will be getting drag shocks front and rear 1pc drive shaft slicks and figuer out my tune andmthis low ass trap speed

 

[Blazer707@TBR]

I would get a good tune and some slicks and you would be impressed where you are at.

I stand corrected.

60' is horrible for starters...get a 1.6x out of it and its a 11.7x pass. other than that as others have said the car is lacking on the back half for some reason.
