I don't know if you were spending alot of the strip spinning your tires (that would lower your MPH) or bogging the car (that would also lower your MPH), but 2.3-2.4 60' will put you in a hole to get a good 1/4 mile time. If your goal is a good ET, get some decent traction oriented tires (a middle of the road drag radial- the Nitto 555r or BFGs), and that should drop your 60' into the 1.7-1.9 range, which should lower your ET by close to 1 second, and also probably raise your MPH. The car looks healthy, due to the increase of 23-25 MPH from the 1/8 to the 1/4 mile...that's good, but you are only doing 80 MPH at the 1/8 mile...that's too slow. That leads me to believe that you are spending alot of track early on trying to hook up, and killing your ET. Your clutch should be able to handle the tires I suggested. Getting an A/F reading is also a good idea, as all cars are a little different, and the same chip doesn't net the same A/F ratio from one to another. I doubt you have a boost leak because of the MPH gain from the 1/8 to the 1/4, but is something that is always good to check out when your MPH is low. Also, 81*, depending on the other weather components (pressure, altitude, and humidity) is not "friendly air". Hope that helps, Mark
