New "pathetic" track times after 3.73's !!HELP!!

Dark_5.0 · 08-09-2001, 11:18 PM

Since I originaly started this post I have gone to the track again.

To my surprise the nittos hooked up much better with 30lbs than they did with 14lbs

This time I hardly spun at all cause I have gotten used to the gears and this time the track wasnt wet I know that had to help

I got my time down to a 15.29 @90 I was cutting 2.10 60fts and then the car would not pull for sh!t.

WELL I FIGURED IT OUT!!! for sure this time as much as I hate to say it GTP6 was right I was having a power problem.

On the way home I was thinking what could it be and I decided to drop the exhaust and check the cats.

The screens in my cats looked more like a saucer with holes poked in it than a screen

I am going to put on an off road H-pipe and take it back again.

Wish me luck
