Awesome times! Your MPH seems low for your ET and 60ft though... are you shifting to 4th?

Yes I am

No I just went directly to 18psi. I'll probably try some different tire pressures when I go out there next time.

I'm pretty sure that the TTP MD reads pretty high. They've shown to be higher than Dynojet numbers. It's all in the times. I think he's running where he should be for a pump gas FP Red. I did manage to have a higher 1/8 trap speed than OP and I'm on 25psi pump Red but he cut a better 60ft. I think he's driving very well for sure.

If he's shifting to fourth right before the finish (which it looks like he is based on trap speeds) it'll kill your trap. On the other hand, it'll make it look like you pick up a lot more on the back half in a full 1/4 run since you wont have any shifts to make.

In case you missed it, we have 439whp cars tuned on our dyno running 6.9 @ 100mph+ in the 1/8 mile on the same turbo.

So by that theory you are saying this guy cant drive since lower hp cars are going faster.

But to the OP congrats on your times and your power. As long as you are happy and like your car, thats all that matters

I don't think his driving is a problem. He's already doing a 1.6x 60ft, that's as good as it will get on street tires. Unless he's shifting way too slow, the times are as good as they'll get.

Regarding the dyno numbers, they do seem high for the trap speeds he is getting but then again, dyno numbers are just used to measure progress right? congrats!
