NO MPH! I need your help. My problem is illustrated below. I have tried essentially every suggest made to me without improved results. All of my modifications and changes have continued to bring me improvements in 60ft and ET's, but my MPH is much lower than others, and much lower than my ET would suggest. If you will look at http://nloc.org/ubb/Forum11/HTML/000035.html you will see me at # 52 (currently) Calightnin. Note that my 60 Ft /ET, while good, is way out of line with my MPH. I stand out like a sore thumb.This is not a one time occurrence and has been continually replicated with a dozen runs between 13.2-12.9 all with 102-103 MPH.
My attempts to remedy this problem have been as follows. Stock, to Pro Torque, to Precision Torque Convertor. 3.55 to 4.10 to 3.55 back to 4.10 gears. New Inter cooler, new plugs, new oxygen senors. New Fuel filter. PSP and JL chip. 26" MT Slicks to 15' rims and 28" Hoosiers, and changed drivers

Any ideas appreciated.

99L
JL Ram Air
PSP and JL Chip
90mm
Single Bore Throttle Body
2lb PSP Pulley (4lb JL just installed)
Full Bassani (Long tubes on order)
Precision Convertor
Level 10 Shift
JL Power Cooler
15" rims/ 28" Hoosiers
Cal Tracs
Carbon Fibre Shaft

 

Whats the problem? Isn't the desired end result to get from
point A to point B, this being the starting line, to the traps, in
as little time as possible?
Hell, I have a good friend who pilots a Nitro Funny Car, and he
has run 4.8 at 290, and 4.8 at 315, I really don't see your
point. unless speed means more to you than E/T...

Marc I guess the point is that I feel I have some problem that is keeping me at a low MPH. If I was able to correct this, my Et's would improve. Im tired of people blowin past me the second 1/8th.

 

Did you check you fuel pressure ? On a hard pull at the top of 3rd gear ?
