Angry Help w/ 1/4 mi. Times

Fellas, I need your help. I'm running some pretty shitty times but let me explain all the details first then maybe you guys can chime in to exactly what's wrong.


First off, I'm at Guam where the track elevation is somewhere are 500ft. above sea level.

Secondly, the track is not prepped at all. The launch pad is bare concrete and sometimes they only laydown VHT on the right lane only. The road mixture here is made out of coral which makes it very slippery. Also, the humidity here can get to 100% easily. With that said, most people who run there cars here run about .5 to 1 second slower than those in the states with a good track.


They don't track 60ft times here which why it's so hard to determine how good/bad your launch is. My problem is that I ran my car bone stock, then later with the Ark type 2 cbe and dropped on H&Rs, then last night with my cbe and injen intake. I didn't see/get any real improvements at all even in the 1/8 or 1/4 mi times or mph.

Here my best bone stock run:

R/T: .6538
330: 6.2172
1/8: 9.3922
1/8 mph: 77.72
1/4: 14.3481
1/4 mph: 98.67

Best run with CBE and drop springs:

R/T: .4760
330: not recorded
1/8: 9.3899
1/8 mph: not recorded
1/4: 14.3489
1/4 mph: 99.34

Best run with injen cai, ark cbe & drop springs:

R/T: 1.1040
330: 6.2518
1/8: 9.4089
1/8 mph: 78.55
1/4: 14.3331
1/4 mph: 99.99


So here's my frustration. Why have I had my best run stock. I know traction is the issue big time because of track condition but shouldn't I at least see the difference in trap speeds with more mods added? I mean I'm launching at 2500-3000 rpm and shifting at 7500 not bouncing the limiter on any of these runs. What's wrong and why ain't I seeing a change of times or at least a mph difference other than 1mph on the quarter? Please help.. This is on stock sports wheel/tires BTW. Thanks.
