best was a 13.7 :(

mods:

3 inch megan racing turboback exhaust, hi flow cat.

hks ssbov
hks rs kit
unorthadox racing underdrive pulley
walbro 255 pump
greddy profec boost controller set at 20.5
mail-in dynoflash.

kinda crappy right?? that was my BEST time too.. the others i was running mid 14's but thats cuz i didnt wanna launch it - im scared as hell to break my car.

finally when i got the 13.7 i did a nice moderate launch..

it was rainy, and very hot and humid... did that kill me THAT much or do i just need to learn how to drive?

i ran a 13.8 bone stock last year.. but it was at nite and much cooler..

any thoughts on it would be appreciated

Trap speed? 60'? 1/8 trap & MPH?

Humidity can push the DA way up there and can lead to some very misleading numbers. If you could figure out the temp, altitude, humidity, etc then you could get your DA and roughly guesstimate what your times would be on a 'normal' day at sea level. But, the DA must have been way up there, you can't drive , or there's something wrong with the car.

Assuming that NJ is at sea level then your DA puts you a little over 2,000 feet. Corrected that would probably be a 13.4 @ 101 or so. You should be trapping higher than that even with your 1.9 60. Of course, correction isn't an exact science but a DA of 2,000 feet is nothing too drastic and there's no reason you shouldn't be running 12s. Why the fuel pump though? Are you tuned for the fuel pump?

from what i read on the forums, most ppl are happy with dynoflash....

See if you can get a refund if you are not happy with the Flash, 98mph is worse than stock.
