I am saying its a mid 11 second car with problems and moves out plenty well on the highway, it should move out on the track next time there.
Swanny Swanny Swanny, come on now. Take that from roll highway bullshit to TCStangs, we all know that isn't real racing. That is like saying "My car makes a ton of power but I can't drive and the car doesn't hook so this is the only way I can make myself feel better about dumping tons of time and money into a car that isn't living up to my expectations".

Judging from your traps I would guess the car was making around 550whp at the track. Even with the weight if it was making 680whp it would have been in the 140 range spinning or no spinning.

Maybe there is a flaw in the tuning somewhere, in a controlled environment your AITs will remain relatively constant unless you are doing pull after pull. You take that same tune out where it is 30 degrees hotter and unless you have it calibrated perfectly to compensate for that you could be way down on power.

I remember Jet battling the AIT issue a lot in the past, we would street tune the car during the day, then go out at night and it would run like ass since the temp dropped a lot. It took awhile to get that figured out. Maybe thats not your problem but something is not right there if you are 100whp down on power when you are at the track.

I guess when you run the nitrous you will see if heatsoak is your problem. And by the way, all the spinning your doing is saving your car, but I am sure you knew that.
