Inconsistent 1/4 times
 
Anyone else have these issues. My MPH is all over the place as are my time slips. Weather and wind I'm sure my play a small factor.
Mph has been from 124 to 111
ET has been from 11.7 to 11.1
With the same 1.50/1.48 60'
Nothing has been adjusted in the tune and I haven't logged it yet. Going to do so next time at the track.
Same amount of tire pressure and same weight in the car every time. I'm sure logging will tell the tale of what's happening but has anyone else had issues like this? Feel as if this car should be much faster then it is.

Those are some big swings. Is there any trend to the data (consistently slower overall or faster?)

wretched73 09-05-2017 08:38 AM

I wonder what that converter is doing

MDSheds_SS 09-05-2017 08:49 AM

We are also wondering about the converter.
The only trend is that it gets faster every run. My best run was after making 7 or 8 runs at a track rental. Since I've been driving the car to the track and not trailering it I've seen it start off running higher 11s.

Are your floor mats stuck under the pedal? :rofl:

Bro.... we all know floor matts are part of the stage 1 weight reduction kit. Lol. ****, I even cut the carpet away from the petal to assure WOT
Tossing the floor mats and dropping the back seat down is good for a few tenths

I think your heads are the issue. Id be willing to swap my stock 243s to help you out.

Fastest pass so far is with my old 243s.

LS1ow 09-05-2017 10:42 AM

I see you said nothing was adjusted in the tune... does that mean you havent had it tuned since the trick flows went on ?

MDSheds_SS 09-05-2017 11:00 AM

It's was retuned after the new heads, but hasn't been logged or touched since. The inconsistency is what has me puzzled. Hoping once I get a chance to read what the car is actually doing I can take a step in the right direction.

LS1ow 09-05-2017 11:50 AM

Was going to say maybe the tire is spinning on the rim, but your 60s are the same.

Is it shifting into high gear to early?

sweetbmxrider 09-05-2017 04:32 PM

Are you saying the car has consistently slowed down or its fast one pass, slow another? What changes have been made between the varying times?

MDSheds_SS 09-05-2017 05:34 PM

Zero changes between all of these runs. most on cooler nights, no warmer then 70 degrees. 60's are almost identical every time.
It's will go 11.45 11.3x 11.2 all in the same night. In that order.
Other times like last weds. Was 11.55 11.50 11.42. Faster every run but the starting points are all over the place. Waiting for it to go 11.2 11.1 10.99 but hasn't happened. Best pass with the new heads and most recent tune is 11.17

Those numbers are not that inconsistent. Looks like the air is getting cooler as it gets later into the night so its making more power

sweetbmxrider 09-06-2017 06:52 AM

Probably a good idea to check the da on dragtimes.com but might attribute some to warming of fluids as well if its trailered.

Car is still slow but it 60s' good.

sweetbmxrider 10-06-2017 07:52 AM

Be faster with a radial :twisted:

But won't look as gangster :evil:

Blackbirdws6 10-06-2017 07:58 AM

what tire did you think it is? a slick ?

jeff wilson 10-06-2017 06:26 PM

Cars pulling timing, gotta get the the water temp consistent between runs. Its hard to do

KirkEvil 10-06-2017 08:31 PM

sweet pic! Whats your race weight?
