Well, My Track Times Sucked Royally

Well, in a nutshell, I suck. The best I could manage is 16.964. Out of 6 runs, I broke into the 16 second barrier once. Yes, thats rights folks once. I don't feel like posting all 6 time slips right now. Anyways, I'll do a best time slipe

Best R/T .698
Best 60' 2.523
Best 1/8 10.906
Best 1/4 16.964
Best MPH 80.50

I'm assuming that I'm getting such crappy times is because of 60' foot correct? I tried just about everything, air pressure, manually shifting, brake torque, flash stall, everything. I removed about 100 pounds from my car too. So do I just suck as a driver? or is something wrong with my car? Usually, y pipe and intake will result in at least a 16.5. Somebody help me

What is your 1/8 trap, I can tell just by looking at the timeslip that your slow on the big end. Even a 10.0 1/8 should be close to a 15.7-15.9 ET. Are you running around 68-69mph in the 1/8 mile? Also the 60ft time could use some work. Next time drive around the water box and run smaller 205/50-15 tires on the front wheels. If you have 330' time please post that too.

are you sure it was a 10 60ft. I looked at some of my old time slips when i ran my 16.9 i had an 11 60ft. What were the conditions when you ran? much weight in your car?

My best 1/8 mile was a 10.906 at 65.63. Could it be my intake possibly that's causing me to lose low end power? I've jsut got a generic cone filter and it looked like it was kinda dirty. I've been thinkin about getting a CAI.
