i have noticed that almost every else with an 03 has a higher trap speed than mine, i had 106 and 107 trap speeds the two times i ran it at the track...why would mine be slower in this way? i still ran a 13.2 which i believe is normal??? thanks:shrug: :nonono:
why is my trap speed lower than others?

what was your 60 ft? What gear are you crossing the finish line at?
mine was only 110mph with CAI and catback
Each car is unique. Tires and traction which affect 60' play a big part in times. Mods & program do to. I notice you haven't changed the pulley. That would certainly bump you up.
And let us not forget....driving skill is very important too.
Good luck!

Mine appeared to run slow as well when stock but would still get got E/Ts. I find that it's driver technique. IE. running hard through both sets of lights, shift rpm, launch technique, not to mention that track altitude plays into the numbers.
Exactly. Lean how to drive.
How about spelling ? :beer:
What was your mileage when you raced it? They tend to get stronger with break-in.
Also, at sea level, mine ran 13.3s at 106-107mph in 40 degree weather,when I had 2k miles. I got better at shifting and with my mods below I trapped at 111 in the heat of summer(close to 80).

Probably a combo of things.
1. cooling fan on? that costs me 1-2 mph usually.
2. no cool-down time.
3. poor weather- we know what effect crappy weather has at the dyno.
4. driving technique
5. letting off too early before the end of the track? speed trap is at the end of the track, i've seen people lift at the first line thinking it's the end when it's really the start of the speed trap.
6. track/traction.
7. your car is F'd up in some way.
