Crack this nut....freaking car......

The guys over at z28.com told me to come here for some help....so here is my problem.....look in the sig for my mods.........why am I running 8.8@81mph in the 1/8 mile? I have yet to break out of the 13's.....13.2@108mph is the cars best.

.....the times above are before adding 4.10's....alum DS, Flywheel, LCA's, and Nittos.......when I added this stuff it didn't get any faster. Granted I have not run the car in the 1/4 yet but I have ran it in the 1/8 and there was no improvment in ET or MPH. HELP! I know Traxxion has a car similar to mine....I'd like to know his secret or if any of you could help that would be GREAT!


BTW in this months issue of GMHTP they said with a carb their 396 powered F-bird made 481hp...with the FI (superram) it made 290!!!!! ..........mabe a carb is the way to go.....

Alot of your problem could be tuning issues also.

108mph should be good for high 12s. 13.2 isn't really bad for that mph. How are the track conditions? A lower 60' will definitely help.

edit: didn't read your sig
