We have been tuning on my car alot here lately. Well tonight i went to the track, it had alot of bottom end but didnt have any mph. It ran a 11.45 at 88mph with a 1.90 60ft (this is 1000 ft racing and the air was EXTREMLY thick.) I have been data logging everything when i run it. At full throttle fuel pressure is at 39psi, and timing is at 25. I use a diablo sport predator tuner. Timing is advanced all the way, and fuel is at +6%. On diablo's you cannot just advance timing by 10, you can only increase it 10%. With fuel you can increase fuel 40%. The current mods are BBK equal length shorty headers, mac o/r H pipe, flowmasters, 3.55 gears, and the programmer. Does anybody have any tips on getting it tuned. Ive thought about professional tuning but i dont know anyone close to the little rock, arkansas area.

I honestly don't know if that trap speed is that low but Im not that good at converting to the 1/4 mile either.

I would take it back to the stock settings on the tune and see what happens. If you trap even lower then there is a problem somewhere else. If you trap higher then know that the parameters you set on the tune were bad for your setup.

It should be trapping a whole lot higher than that. It should be finishing about 92-93mph.

Well I would do what I said then and see what happens. You don't have a whole lot of mods to where a tune is needed so it won't hurt your car if you take it back to stock settings.
