So after adding 100 hp, you had a worse sixty foot time and terrible air. That would be 1-2 mph right there.
A 700 change in DA is about .1 and 1 mph on my car.

But 2900 DA is high, period.

Hulk you cannot compare your 92 mph to any of the record runs. All the fast record runs were done in negative DA.

My manual car will run about 94-95 or so in that DA, but I have to shift 3 times in the 1/8 and as a manual car I'm not that comparable.

I have to say 92 seems low even for that DA.

I think the next step is to find someone with HP Tuners and scan your runs and post up. You might be getting a lot of knock or something.

If you really want to solve the problem, get a wideband and HP Tuners yourself and scan the runs with a wide band reading. That's how you really diagnose problems and fine tune your tune. Made a huge difference for me. Of course as a manual car, I also learned to drive better watching the scans, but a scan is invaluable analyzing track results.

That will do it. Post up a scan. I don't have EFI live but others do and will help.

According to this thread you ran your stock time back in March...
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...-8th-time.html
what was the DA then?
The gains at beast would be 10mph in the 1/4 given the same DA...which equates to 6mph in the 1/8 from the extra 100hp, but a 2000' DA difference could easily take away 2-3mph as Joe G mentioned. Dyno numbers are corrected, track numbers are not
