Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. I'm rather dismayed. I posted a couple weeks ago, when I had a terrible night at the track, but I can blame that all on traction. My Sumitomo street tires were spinning like crazy.
However, now that I've got the ET Streets on the car, I was getting no spin that I could tell at all. I wish I had someone at the track to video my runs, but I don't. Anyway, I logged 3 of my 4 runs. I'll upload the logs. Since the forum doesn't allow .CSV uploads, I renamed them .TXT. Rename them back so you can open them in Excel.
I left my slips out in the car, and I'm feeling too lazy to go get them right now. I'll post them up tomorrow.
To answer some of the questions:
- No, I'm not a very experienced drag racer. I raced last season, and even then I bailed out in August. It was just too hot and my allergies were kicking my butt.
- The parts might be installed wrong. I'm not professional mechanic, but I did have experienced mechanical people assist with all of the installs.
- I'm getting the P0505 check engine light almost every time I drive the car. So maybe my throttle is behaving.
- The slicks are almost exactly the same diameter as the stock tires. (Mickey Thompson ET Streets - non-radial version, 26" by 10.50" by 16" (26 diameter for 16" wheels, I don't know what the 10.50 is because the MT site says the tread is 8.4" wide)
- My tune is about 6 weeks old, with a trip to the Dragon and to Detroit under its belt. So I think the ECU has adapted.
- The track prep on Friday nights where I race is usually non-existent. But I wasn't feeling any tire spin - maybe a tiny bit on my last run, but I forgot to turn on the data logger on that run.
- Knock retard? I don't know how to tell that.
- Does it feel faster? Yes, it does, but I'm not seeing better numbers. It's strange.
- Did I gain weight? Yes, I've got too many socks in the trunk!
