Default Re: Go get some, 82GT!

Well guys...I am TOTALLY baffled and confused
How the HELL can I go from a 1.94 60' time from last year, to a 1.73 60' Today and STILL run my old 13.4 E.T with 6mph less trap speed?
The car launched like a rocket from the start all the way to the 330 mark and then seemed like it quit. What the ****** happened!

Here are last years numbers on the left and today's on the right:

60'.....1.944 60'.....1.736
330....5.644 330....5.352
1/8....8.632 1/8....8.420
mph...82.16 mph....79.42
1000..11.224 1000...11.112
1/4....13.423 1/4.....13.404
mph...104.35 mph....98

Ok, the temp. outside was hot. It was 85* with 34% humidity. It was much cooler last year when I ran those numbers but still.....

Here are the changes I made to my car since last year:

Sumped fuel tank with Holley Blue pump an -8AN line
Went from a 3310 Holley to a 4150
Replaced 2400 converter with an Edge 3700 stall

I'm hoping it's only because my new carb. needs tweaked or because of the hot weather today.....or both.
I don't like how my mph speeds are down either. It means I lost HP somewhere... a lot of HP!

If I had today's low end numbers with last years top end numbers, I would be in the 12's. I don't under stand how I can gain over 2 tenths in the 60' and NOT run any better on the top end. I though .2 in the 60' usually means about .4 in the 1/4 E.T?

I need some help guys...Jester, are you reading this?
