can anyone please tell me why in the hell i run a 18.9 on 110 octane then, launching from L at about 2300rpm, no wheel spin, just ram air intake, was a hot humid day in indiana, had a system in the trunk too, but that much slower for those factors? its a fully loaded gs, sunroof, full power, and leather, is my car on key or is it lagging behind

alright ill try that, but like i posted in performance/engine then in auto trans my car has gain a considerable more ammount of power with the throttle body mod,(1) it wasnt opening all the way before so there is one problem eliminated (2) Im taking all that junk out of my trunk (subs, spare, jack) (3) Im launching it in Drive this time even though i read on the site somewhere to launch in Low (4) Hopefully it wont be so hot and humid like last time i went. if before my girls 02 cavy with just a fiberglass hood and its an auto pulled from me all the way from the light and kept a 1 car lentgth, and now i pull from her and get about half a car length thats some tenths of a second gone, and thats with my system and other junk in. what do u guys think ill run now?

Err ... why are you using 110 octane? You're NA, just bolt-ons, nothing to lean the fuel mixture, you're good on 87-89 octane. That just makes it worse. Higher octane doesn't make you go faster it only prevents the on set of detonation which would normally allow you to run a larger shot of NOS or more boost. Dump the 110, it'll help your ETs.
Also, stock ATs are not quick. There are mods that help the AT get faster but the ones that help the most are the ones on the trans itself (final drive mod). Loose the excess wieght, it just makes you go slower.
BTW, the fastest NA time with an AT is 16.7-16.8ish that I know of.

if it takes u a while to get to the track....(a long drive)....let the car cool off before u run it.....heat is a very bad thing for our auto's.......if u get on it all the way there and then pull right in line your tranny is hot....and doesn't like it....equals slower times.....good launchin will help u also......from what ive tested on the street.....power brakin up too 2300 or the stall speed ( i guess thats what its called) doesn't feel as fast say u rev up too 2000 or a little less......id just take out all the stuff in the trunk....run twice at the most and let if rest a min.....restin between runs will prolong the life of the tranny.....less heat:thumbsup
18.9 is the very reason i wont run at the track......signs point to slow so i ain't gonna go.......
