Back from the strip w/ new headers

I just got home from running the new bbk header setup. I also changed to bosch p4 and msd wires, but I have lost about .5 sec. the car pulls better than ever but spins more off the line. This is confusing????

best time 13.53 101.7mph

best today 14.36 99.8mph

You lost .5mph and 2mph, that's not good

If the car pulled better, you'd have a higher MPH. The slipping could account for a slower ET, but the MPH wouldn't be affected that much. Something is wrong, or you changed something. Is it a stick or an auto? (I didn't check your sig).

Any vast difference in the weather (temp/humidity) since you ran last?

What is "bosch p4" ? Plugs? I'm assuming you gapped them correctly...

You may be getting some knock retard now with the headers. Get some kind of scanning device to check. LT1 scanmaster is a invaluable tool.
