So after living in the area I discovered there's a track near me and last night was test and tune.
I ran my best at 13.1 the rest were 13.3 a bit disappointed considering my mods.  I've seen faster slips with just tune and drop in filter.
My runs are the lane that say Serna.

The 60' Foot times explain alot and are crucial for an overall great ET.
What tires are you running with? Tire psi lowered  ?
I netted an overall Best 1.752 - 60'- times. Z  :)

Looks like that DA is working against you as well.  Typically see such horrible DAs in Arizona or Colorado.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I am running conti's dws and no I didn't lower the psi
What can I work on to lower my 60' times?

I was launching right between 1800 and 2000rpms. I did have long line up but I kept the engine off while sitting idle. I avoided the water trap as well. I did about everything except reducing weight, warming up the tires but I did drive an hour just to get there so I figured they were warmed up. I guess I'll just have to keep trying. Both my 13.3 runs we're in Drive and my 13.1 and 13.2were in sport. I don't know if it was supposed to make a difference but I got lower times when I switched to sport.

Alright I'll try that next time. I wouldn't say recently about 2 weeks and have driven over 1000miles.

The DA was not your friend.   Just curious:   Were you getting much wheelspin when you launched?

What was the DA?

Ah I see almost 4000....I guess that's not great?

Excuse my ignorance but how does one figure out the DA?

From what I could feel there was no wheel spin. The track was hot and being used heavily by dragsters tuning for today's show bracket.

I am on the fence about the turning the car off in the staging lanes... the heat builds up with nothing to help dissipate it... I have found that in the staging lanes, its almost better to leave the car running with the fans on high... I only turn the car off when I am in the pit and wait for awhile...

Brucelinc

I don't think it is a good idea to shut the car off in the staging lanes unless there is a long delay such as when someone drops oil or something like that.    My car's temp is always higher when I restart after shutting it off unless it is off for a longer period of time.

If the OP was getting no wheelspin at launch, I see no reason to lower tire pressure.    That would just increase rolling resistance.   No wheelspin at all tells me that he could launch a bit harder.   Then if there is significant spinning, I could see lowering the pressure.   My best times have always been with a just bit of spinning to prevent bogging but not enough to hurt the time.
