Default Re: Ugh. Lots of new parts, and I go slower.

Tom as you know, has it all. I couldn't find any leaks, restrictions, but that is still where I would look. He just isn't getting any raw HP>....He should be lighting them up at the line...I managed 1 run w/ a 1.76 60ft for the track conditions, Tom's were worse...most runs were in the 1.8-1.9 for me. Tom wasn't beating those, so something isn't right in his set up, but nothing stood out. LET wasn't any help on his, and we took a look at mine, and the tune on mine hadn't changed...so, I am now reluctant to do anything until Tom's problems are diagnosed. Why spend the time and money he has spent, buy slicks, and all, and he beats me by 1/2 a car length or less? I don't think my 'vert is that fast...somethings wrong, so I hope those who helped him, sold him parts, can help the guy out. He's pretty depressed about it, as I would be....with that said, it took v-10's and heavily modded v-8's to beat the 'vert, so I am happy with what I have, but I would like to go faster...LOL
