Re: should i be upset or ok with it

Did you go all the way with the cam and valve train? It was just a stock LT4 cam? It does seem a tad low, but it depends on a lot of different factors. Do you have a good dyno tune? All this stuff matters a lot, which I am sure you already know.

Re: should i be upset or ok with it

I'd be looking for more. My stock long block and bolt ons before boost was getting me 110-112 trap speeds. But I'm at sea level and have a 3rd gen body.

You could be picking up some knock from the headers. And a dyno tune would help. Nice 60 though.

The 105.36 is not sounding right 60ft time is good, but for some reason that mph is not what it should be.

Re: should i be upset or ok with it

so i don't see any work done on the heads,are they stock?
If so then I think it ran good considering the heat and humidity.
Get the heads done and it should fly.

Re: should i be upset or ok with it

You ran out of steam. A lot of variables here and testing and seat time are a must

One track time cannot answer weather your car was running what it should or shouldn't

What was your 1/8th mph? Btw. I'm figuring 89 to 90. If so that is only 15 mph gain
Out back. So you could have valve train issues excessive tire growth from temp
Fuel going lean timing issues or like what was said before dense hot air is very bad

I like to see more track times

Re: should i be upset or ok with it

Also you need to verify that your stall is flashing at 3800 or before. Just so you don't jump the ligjht
