I ask here because I don't have much luck with questions in the drag racing forum. If it needs to be moved though please do.
I have been to the track a couple of times in the last month. The first time I found out the car still had a few issues and was only able to run a best of 13.10 @ 106 mph. This was on a hot day, cut out closed, a slow 2/3 shift, and a crappy 2.0 60 ft. time on my Nittos. The second time the air was a little better, the 2/3 shift problem was fixed, cut out open, and a better but not great 1.8 60 ft. time resulted in a 12.64 @ 108.86. Here are the #'s.
60 ft. 1.80
330 5.213
1/8 8.075
mph 85.63
1000 10.561
1/4 12.64
mph 108.86.

With a 108 mph trap speed shouldn't this car be in the low 12's? I have a set of ET streets I'll try next time to help my short times. That and the air should be better also. With 370rwhp this is doable (low 12's) isn't it? Mods in the sig any and input would be very helpfull.

that looks pretty good to me. I might expect the mph to be slightly higher if you're pushing 370 rwhp unless you have a heavy car. what do you mean a slow 2-3 shift? are you shifting the automatic manually? last week i ran a 12.86 @106 for a new best on a 1.81 60' but i just put the shifter on 3 and leave it there. unless you've got a modified set up that is designed to shift manually, I believe the general consensus is to let the computer shift for you. but again, I'm not familiar with your setup. reguardless, you definately have a pretty quick car, congratulations.

370rwhp should put you into low 12s and maybe a high 11 to mid 11 with some weight reduction...quite abit.

mkent, the first time I took the car to the track with this set-up it didn't want to shift 3rd, it hesitated every time. Once it refused to go into 3rd all together. After having the shop I go to tell me the trans might be going out the tuner agreed we could try bringing the shift point down a couple hundred rpm. That seems to have cured the problem. And yes this is a heavy car, no weight reduction.

With a better 60ft time you would be in the low 12s. With my auto setup I ran low 1.7, high1.6 60fts with ET streets which got me a best of 12.33 @ 108.99. But my car only had 340 RWHP, I would think with 370 rwhp you should be trapping around 112 mph or higher.
