There is no way for us to know what you are doing wrong unless we watch you drive your car. Point is your not going very fast. Your 60ft is bad but not bad enough to knock a second off your ET. Go to the track and practice. Also let someone else with more seat time drive your car and see what happens.

 

your 60' foot isn't that great you should be able to run a 2.2 at least with street tires...your 330' also looks a little weak ... I'd say you should be able to run a 15.8 just by working on your 60' time and shifting better the rest of the way.

drive it like you hate it!

 

thanks for the replys

 

do you have a lot of extra weight in the car or are you at a very high altitude? your MPH seems really low for your car and mods. the e.t. can vary greatly but mph seems to never lie about power to weight ratio.

 

no extra weight at all, i wiegh 180 lbs , i live in Ohio (dont know the altitude)i think its me just droping the clutch instead of feathering it at around 3-4 grand

 

i always seem to have a 2.4 60' no matter what i drive and how so i can only wish for better.

 

are you shifting right?

 

I honestly think there's something wrong with the car. 2.4 is bad, but the mph clearly indicates a problem. A stock Lude traps high 80's, **** even my old 00' Corolla trapped 87 mph. My suggestion would be get the car checked out.

 

my friends dad owns a shop and he seemed to be convinced that my cat was clogged up , could that be the problem?
