You went from 109 to 102 trap speeds with the same car and mods and two different tracks? The first one must have been -1800 d.a. and the next +3000 d.a.

i know its wierd but i even have video AND timeslips (if i can find the slips) to prove it. Its not a very high altitude track (i think it might actually be sea level) i dont know what it could be,there haas been SOME wind but it didnt feel like it was THAT bad. LS1's were havin trouble breaking 100MPH and LT1's were stuck in 93-95MPH territory,even my G-Tech was slower at that track (Infineon Raceway), also the G-Tech was within a tenth @ the track but slower than what it showed when i/my friends used it on the freeway by my house. maybe its the air up there i dont know.

P.s- please dont tell me the drivers were the reason the cars were trappin so low,LS1 automatics were barely in the 14.1-14.2@98MPH territory,and my LT1 at 14.4@96MPH, both with acceptable 60' times (traction sucks there on wednesdays) its hard to mess up that bad in an auto.Thats why my advice is to see what other cars are runnin @ the SAME time your there to get a good measure on how your cars doin as well.

Thanks, guys, looks like the fuel pump was cutting out at high rpms, II hooked a pressure gauge up and the psi was pretty low abouve ~3500. Gonna get a new one and hope I run better next time.

Too those who asked, I did not rebuild the engine, it was done by the first owner and the heads and cam apper stock.

Give me a break on the R/Ts and the 60' times guys, it was my first time out I'm planning on getting some DRs and, as for the R/Ts, I guess practice makes perfect.

P.S. At least I beat the 5.0 Stang on the second run....
