Now, dont get me wrong, I am not saying it is slow ... my 2WD ran a 14.16 @ 99 mph with a shitty 60 foot time of 2.15 ... but for a 400 HP vehicle, it should run harder. And as for the 15/19, I just dont see how it is possible ... at least not down here in central FL with the nasty traffic.

Those are my only real complaints, but they dont really matter since it is the wife's and will not be touched for the next 5 years or so.

But what do I really care ... that's what I have a big block for ....

can you post the circumstances surrounding the run/s?? temp/Alt/Baro/launch technique/ wheel spin?/ track prep/Etc.

thanks, Tony

Shouldn't a tune with the torque management removed or reduced help on the low end?

if you removetorque management on a new vehicle then you are kind of foolish IMO. get it reduced though and you will not shorten the life of your tanny and you will still get good gains out of it.
