So the first time I ever ran my car I was trapping in the 104.5 105 mph range with 2.10.2-20 60 ft. Best run then was a 13.9. Then the next time I went out I was trapping in the 100-101 mph range with 2.10-2.20 60 ft. Only change in between that I can think of was changing over to COP.
Tonight I went to the track and had two runs. First was a terrible 14.35 at 100.98 and the second was a 13.95 at 100.89. I was shifting 1-4 at around 7 grand and cut a 1.98 60 ft as I now have 4.30's (also had heavier 18 inch saleens). My second run at the eight was also only 98.94 mph, whereas my slower run was 80.4 mph. I bogged the first run and then foot peddled the second. Tires were only cleaned off with a quick burnout (MT ET street radials) I iwll say I may have shifted a tad early by about 3-400 rpm in the 3rd-4th shift as I am not used to the 4.30s yet.
I just feel like something is wrong with this car considering it dynoed at 313 on the race tune a few years back and the first time out it felt like it was flying. I feel like it had pep, and now I feel like something is missing. It ran its best on a much hotter humid day compared to the last two runs that had nice cool air. It makes me think the COPs are not doing as good a job as the stock. What do you all think? Am I crazy, is it the driver mod, or is the car actually slower than it should be for the mods? Could the tune not be uploading correctly or reverting to stock without my knowledge?
