Unhappy New TRACK TIMES

Times were not as good as expected.I installed Yank 2600 and servo's.I did gain 11/2 tenth's on 60' times and overall 1/4 mile times.I did not have time to do weight reduction this time other than tailgate (had 4 side bin tool boxes still full with construction tools).Times were 60'=2.13,1/8=9.62,1/4=15.10@88.24.I was really hoping for a 14 second time slip,but as they say "there's always next time". Also lost almost 1 1/2 MPH. New tune only has 300 miles on it so maybe next time. Old times in sig.

Dam, get rid of those tools and tool boxes and you should definatly be in the 14's. Good run though.

Its the weight. If you added 4 tool boxes full of stuff and still dropped your 60' and ET, then I'd say it was a success.

I agree, put your truck in a diet and you will get that 14sec time slip.
