![]() How can you say "something is definately wrong with my car" based on two time slips that are similar enough and dont show anything unusual?
Its all right there in your 60 ft. times, plain as day. A .2 improvement in 60 ft. time equates to a .4 improvement in ET. Relax....... There are a lot of reasons for gaining MPH and losing ET. Drag racing is more involved than just mashing the gas pedal down. The first thing that jumps out when your MPH is higher than your ET would normally indicate is 60 ft. times. Gas octane, tire pressure, timing, how full your tank is, etc...are all variables that could change your time slightly, and arent worth worrying about unless your after the absolute quickest time your car can do with you driving. Then you just have to experiment. Generally less gas is better (lighter), tire pressure depends (are you running slicks)? If not, then your really wasting your time, as you wont see ideal results without traction out of the hole as a starting point. |
