hey guys im looking for some ideas on what is slowing me down. took my car to track for the first time yesterday expecting to run low 12's and left with a best time of 13.2 at 103. my 60' was a 2.0 all night. i will admit that i showed up to the track with 1/2 a tank of gas and didn't air down my tires but id be hard pressed to believe that those factors cost me an entire second in the 1/4. i left at 2000 rpms and shallow staged every time. my mods are as follows. intake, 3bar, plugs, stage 3 water meth, torrie tuning it as aggressive as he feels comfortable with. i did play around with the traction control a bit, my best time ended up being in the "sport mode" but all my times were pretty consistent.
i did cream some mustangs though! :smilie1:
That does seem pretty slow! Video of any of your times down the track (which one)? DA? What tires? Was the track well-prepared/did you feel it slowed your launch? Any datalogs to share?
On the bright side, you still surprised a lot of "fast" cars!!!

looks like the da was 2632 at around the time i was running, my brother did take a video of one of my runs, track seemed well prepared, i did take a datalog that ill be sending to Torrie for review
Need a driver mod...they are not readily available on Amazon or ebay
I'd want to know actual boost during the pull...3 bar doesn't really tell me much..that's why I dont list it in my sig....I'm assuming it's not missing since torrie reviewed the logs.
Not joking here but sometimes cars are just slow
ill review the datalog tonight. i don't list it in my sig either.. not my first time at the track, just the first time i brought this car..
I'll look at the log tonight if u want
I suspect low boost
I'd like to peek at it as well, not that I will be of any help, but I'm curious what a w/m log looks like.
He logged off...he should've posted the log if he really wants to get to the bottom of it...the logs don't lie and are much better than posting mods and times...use the community
It seems like you didn't lose any traction, therefore, there is no need to lower the tire pressure. I would imagine it would just slow you down towards the end of the track.
Yeah but his trap would still be higher even if he spun...he should be able to get some 1.8x. But even if he did then that would've knocked off another .3-.4 he still would be slow
Sorry guys I'm at work. Very far away away from my car and my log..
I'll send a log to Torrie tonight and see what he says. I've been fighting some issues with the w/m but it seemed to be working fine I guess the log will tell. I might change out the plugs and see if that helps
Post it here or pm me ur email and I'd look at it
Will do
I figured since your car is a 2011,could be a possibility you have an 02 sensor (epidemic)definetly agree the logs are crucial in order to get an inside perspective on the matter. Z
so now i cant open my live link program. it just says im missing a root element. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that didn't change anything, anybody ever have this problem??
Uninstall then disable your antivirus and download the program again then install...start live link then turn on antivirus...might work...I've never had your problem
New computer/OS by any chance?
A. Make sure you install/run LiveLink as an administrator B. Don't run it on an OS > Windows 7 C. Call SCT and have them remote in D. Don't have your device connected during installation/update

Did you run the software updater first?

Well, coffee makes me run better, lol...
13.2 with meth is really slow even in that DA. Something is not right at all. Last weekend I ran a 12.79 @108.8 with traction issues and almost full tank of gas. I do not have Meth (yet ;)) at 2k DA. I'm sure Torrie with be able to fix you up though, at the very least he should be able to point you in the right direction.

I see you mentioned plugs on ur mods? What are they gapped at??? You could be blowin out the spark. Also, what nozzle are you running on your meth and what boost do you have it come on and then max? What boost are you seeing at full throttle? I have my meth come on 50% at 6lbs and full boost at 13-14lbs. I'd have to double check and I'm running a A.I. #10 nozzle.
Great advice from all the above,did you check the fittings that come out of the tank that feeds the methanol,you could have a possible leak that needs to be addressed,BTW ITS crucial to monitor your AFR readings and send them out to Torrie for him to check especially the 1/4 mile. Z
im running the #6 nozzle i believe, on at 10 full on at 12. just replaced the plugs. originally had a shop do them since they were already doing the meth kit. they were all at .040 i guess they didn't quite understand the instructions. do you guys think this could be the whole root of my problem? i have been very busy so i haven't had time to give her some hell and im still fighting with live links so no logs have been sent to torrie yet. also, sorry i didn't reply sooner and thanks for the stellar advice!
is there a way to set up email notification for this site?
If you're spraying meth with improperly gapped plugs you could very well be losing that second in the 1/4. I don't know if the same .30 is recommend when spraying meth but i would make sure, gap plugs properly and also make sure the meth kit was spraying properly as well. You for sure need to get some logs so Torrie can see whats going on. That should be the first thing you do, it should have been done before even going to the track.

They are gapped correctly now. Did a huge amount of data logging before I went to the track. Think I went through about 16 tunes until torrie said that's all he could do. That's why I was so surprised at the times it ran
