Well, here's the story: I went to the track a little while back and went 12.0 @ 118 on Nittos.
I finally was able to go back again 3 days ago and went 11.99 @ 115 on ET streets. The differences between the 2 runs are as follows: I swapped out my densecharger for a K&N FIPK and I installed some Brisk 17's. Also, the air was way better this time around, along with a 10 mph tailwind. I figured I would at least still trap 118, hell, maybe even 119 or so. I was trapping 115 before my pulley so something is definitely wrong. I know et streets can eat up 1 mph or so, but not 3. I don't think they cost me anything though because I was able to go WOT all the way from the launch to the end, where as with the Nittos I had to feather it all the way through 1st and half of 2nd. The power just wasn't there. I also noticed the car was running rather rough and it kept stalling on decel. I finally did some investigating today and noticed that my air inlet had completely came off my throttle body. I must have not tightened it down properly after I installed the Brisks. I fixed it and that cured the "around town" miss, but could it have agffected my WOT performance as well? I'm new to this MAF stuff, the only fast car I've had before this was speed density. Pretty much, the bottom line is I know the intake leak affected my part throttle performance, but does it affect WOT as well? I just want my 3mph back, 3 of my 4 runs I was edged out by an LS1 by 2 tenths/2mph :bash:
