Mine does it too, it happens while sitting in line waiting to get to the front.

EDIT: W/ a properly warmed up engine today I GTeched both a 16.40/88.2 and a 17.16/80.4, but I guess somethin happened on that 16.40.

If you're talkin about me, the GTECH measures from when you start, not from a "green light" so there really isn't a reaction time.

 

What RPM did u launch at? Manual shifting? What rpm did u shift at?

" I'd rather run last in a full out race, than to NOT run at all ".

 

A little to high even with those mods... How many miles?

 

reaction time has NOTHING to do with the E.T. ........the clock at the track start once you cross the starting line.

 

Yea, correct.
But, you sure can beat the other guy, by beating him outta the gate!

About the heat problem, you wouldn't believe how much difference a radiator flush makes in running temps. Try a lower temp thermo, too.

Steven, don't be too disappointed! I think that's a great run for those few of mods. If you want a morale boost, check out my last track runs, with all my mods (and +200k miles):

Oh and by the way, the computer makes the fan come on at 230 degrees.
