Where did I go wrong? Other than being a cheap ***
Yeah I thought something els was amiss here. You should be doing a lot better with your combination assuming it's in good tune. Although your trap speed or I should say your trap RPM is a little low. Again due to what's been said before maybe gear ratio or tire size can improve things but definitely go out on a better day with better air and temperature. Did you say you had lots of experience and this is your first time with this car? Or was this your first time at the quarter mile period ?
oh yeah and one more thing--
