Default Bad results, suggestions...

Ok, so I went to the friday night drags in SLC last night. The last time I went had a chip and cat-back exhaust and ran a 15.8 . Now that I have the full turbo back exhaust and a carbonio intake I was expecting to run a little bit faster, instead it was 16.4? I wasn't to happy about that and was wondering if anyone knew what it could be. I have no cel lights and the boost seemed just fine.

How many runs did you do? Whats your reaction time? Manual or tip? Were outside temps the same as before? Intakes dont give power gains on our cars, thats pretty much a fact. The high flow cat shold help though.

my cars manual, reaction time was .187 and .523. I did 2 runs because there were a million people there, it was 65 degrees that night aprox. My first run was a 16.9 and my second was a 16.4? The difference was i turned my engine off the whole time going up for my second run. do you think it's my plugs? I ran faster on the .523 reaction. I felt boost so i know its not a disconnected n75 or anything.

rt has 0 effect on et's. The time doesnt start until you move. So you can sit there for 2 secs before leaving and still run 15.XX

you should care far more about his 60' times more than anything else. Im guessing this time to the track they sucked *****. And the TT section is fine, just spreading the love/knowledge [8D]

Weird, I was really sad last night, that's all I remembered. Girls came to watch me and then when that happened I cried
