1st night at track

[97cutlas$upreme]

this was my first run of the night, also the slowest but my only win lol 17.704@77.25mph

2nd run a little faster but lost by quite a bit 17.677@76.63mph

last run, i was supposed to run vs my friends GST but some asshole cut infront so ended up lining up wita a mach one which you could see i got ate up and spit back out... although it was my best e/t...17.534@77.96 he ran a 13.860@100.47mph

i got to work on my lauch and r/t though any suggestions????

That one mustang ran a 17? lol was it a v6?

Man you have a high 1/4! I cant read the slips really so not sure on your rt/60ft time. I would suggest a new oxygen sensor (denso, check out sparkplugs.com) if you haven't put one on. Is your CAI a true CAI? or sucking hot engine air? Not familair with rapid fires but if its a single platnium tip then it's likely hurting your spark performance. I run the normal old school Ac delcos and they are great. Some of those multi prong sparkplugs are just gimmick. Exhaust work would help you, new down pipe/etc back is best but a high flow cat, no resonator and straight through muffler on back would be good. Manderl bent 2.25" or 2.5". I noticed a difference just eliminating the resonator and stock muffler and I'm still running stock 200k cat and 2" factory pipe.

put the stock parts back on and get back into the high 16's

i figured out what killed me, bad spark plug wire i was running on 5 cylinders, i started pulling them the #3 cylinders was off the wire was cracked oh and that mustang ran a 17 cause he was riding dirty on 20s lol

i was about to say i think a 3100 should run better then high 17's my gp was stock and had a sticky thermostat and was running at 220 the whole time i was at the track and it was running mid 16's with heavy ass wheels

[97cutlas$upreme]

yup that was the problem for sure...i replaced the wires and cleaned the spark plugs... ran a again and ran a best time of 16.561 @ 82.1 mph
