Default More track problems possible cause- blown strut

does anyone think that a blown strut could cause such a bad time at the track. 15.4 @ 90mph with a 2.4 60ft. ride - ek with gsr i/h/e/vafc tuned to 160whp and 118 lbs tourque weighing in at 2620 with driver? car bounces and kinda jolts before it moves kinda like a bad motor mount or a blown strut or the car surging?i think its the strut though cuz i no for a fact its blown. i have the kyb agx gas with r1 coilovers?

with that 90 trap, you are not going to be much quicker. my old b18b did a 15.0@91mph with a 2.1ft. you might break the 14's if you can cut the 60ft down some.

Actually I think that the blown strut can effect your lap times. I bet if you get it replaced then your lap times will improve a bit.

EK's don't have struts, they have shock absorbers.
