went to the track on friday and i ran 3 times but i only got clocked for two.

1st

.273
2.34
9.678@75.92
14.90@94.12

2nd

.367
2.156
9.483@75.98
14.73@93.14

what i want to know is why are these times so bad, i was expecting to trap around 99-100 and be in the 13's. even my 60ft was horrible and i launched at 1k rpm and then floor it. what do you guys think? i didnt cool it down and i havent done a complete tune-up yet, but i dont think i can take a second off my E/T just doing that.

 

man..those times are kinda rough dude. i was running consistent 13's in my '95. somethin's up with your car. what kinda tires you running with. I'm assuming you have the 3.23 gears since its a ws6. i had a few more bolt-on in my Z, but without em i never ran that slow. tune that thing.

 

how many miles on the car? sometimes a simple tune up could make the diff

 

my car has 136k miles on it, and i dont think it has ever had a tune-up. except i changed the oil and fuel filter, but thats about it. in my previous car i ran 13.8@100 with the same setup minus dr's, and i dont see me gaining 7mph from just a tune-up. i only went a 2.1 60ft as supposed to my 13.8 run i went 2.0x on bald bfg street tires. i kind of feel bad cuz even my friends 96 t/a beat me, thats cuz his car has a bad stumble(opti) also my rear shocks are messed up, could that affect my times at all?

 

you'd be suprised as to what a tune up could do. plugs, wires, opti, clean your injectors etc etc
