BR 4 Stage No good times at all (HELP!)

I already ran the car using stg 1 (12.81 105 mph) stg II 12.66 @ 108...

But last week I finished to install BR STG 4 and something went wrong because my best was 12.50@110

Really I verify every inch of my car....
and I put special attention to:
1) Timing Belt
2) IC Hoses

I verify my wideband and is reading 11.70 to 12:00 with C-16 in 4 gear.

I need some help......

1/8 - 8.062
mph - 85.38
1000' - 10.519
1/4 - 12.581
mph - 107.87

Run 2 - 5000 rpm slip the clutch
60 - 1.773
330 - 5.286

12.10 @109,Stage 4, 110 octane, AEM and 18" rims. Second run in the AM, around 75 degrees low humidity. I broke my collar bone so I have only been able to run 12.30's in a lot off pain the last few times at the track. The 12.30 runs have been in the PM, 80 degrees plus and high humidity.

The 12.10 was done launching at 4500, shifting at 7200. So far that is my best time. And I did that in the morning before I broke my collar bone.

First of all, why are you running with a full tank of gas? You should run less than 1/4 tank. So that should be a 10th of a sec right there.

Second, with the C-16, why only run with 20-21 psi? You might as well crank it to 25 psi even though it will taper down.

With cooler weather and more boost, you should easily be in the mid-teens trap wise.

I had Tim S. set up the AEM at Buschurs. I am trying to find the base settings right now in the laptop, I don't feel like pluging it into the car right know. The AEM log is showing at 1004rpm it is at 18.16, on a full load at 7566rpm the timing was at 16.75 in 4th gear with that 12.1 run. The boost is also showing 21.62.

Woa, you ran a 11.18 @ 127? Post some stuff about your setup. I'm not into drag racing as much, but that sounds fun.

nice! same time as me. Nice 60' time? It looks like something happen between 1000 and 1/4. At what RPM were you launching and was this on stock clutch?
