your times in your sig and your 12.6 times are confusing me...maybe I am tired :D
hmmm check to see how rich you are running. The nos setups usually make you go a lil piggy. I bet if you lean it out some you can gain a tenth or two :D
If you are running 12.6 then a 100 shot should give you about 11.8-11.6.

jpvette1,

Your #'s are close, but, there should be a few more tenths in there...
With your 60' times I'd bee hunting for that 11.4-11.5 run...
I'd consider what intel55 posted. rich/lean conditions maybe a culprit...
In my case it wasn't rich, but, lean as fuel pressure was fluctuating.

Any chance of getting an N2O run in with AutoTap?

It appears you definitely have traction. I'd try and dial in the progressive controller for more punch as well...

FWIW: I've been using my 100 shot for awhile and even though my 60's stink(2.2-2.4) I'm still cutting solid 11.8's & 11.9's@120-122'ish. Thats starting at 15%with a 2-3 sec delay on an NOS prog controller.

I agree. Taking the data supplied by others on the forum with a similar setup, you're definitely in the ballpark. BTW, congrats for the awesome 60' times. I'd like to see some of those on my slips over here!

Try turning down/off the progressive controller?... I say that because I really like feeling all of the power come on hard like it does with my very basic dry setup. Besides, it's not a big traction issue for me when I'm at HRP. I just roll out slow then WHACK IT and she hooks-up by the middle of second gear.

Good Luck...Thanks

I would set your controller to 100 %. Just dont hit it too early or you will get wheelspin. I have the 2.73's A4, and i have run a best pass on motor of 13.28, and on a 100 shot dry, (no progressive, 100% all the time), i have gotten a best pass of 12.011 @ 113.68. I spray mine about halfway down the 60' and get no wheelspin (HRP). They prep the track really good there tho.. some other tracks prolly wouldnt hook as well. But for the setup you have, and waiting 4 seconds for 100%, your times sound about right.
