Ok I went to the track lastnight and went my average e.t. 13.50 13.60. The humity was 88% so it's not to far off of my best 13.30 's with no humity. But why can't I get more than 100.97 miles per hour? That is the most I have ever had. I can go 13.70 @100mph or a 13.30@100mph What miles per hour do most 99+ gt's get with bolt on? I average 1.85 to 1.95 60' times. I thank I should have about 103mph

wow, it sounds like your car is falling on its face in the upper band or higher gears. i trap at 102-104 with mine at low 13.5s with 60s of 2.0. does your diablo have a 100 miles per hour limiter on it?

I was stuck at 101-102 before I got my tune and long tubes. Now I trap 104-106. What rpm are you shifting at?

As a general rule, miles per hour=hp. The more hp, the higher speed you will trap. LT's and a good tune would probably help. But you have to ask yourself, is it worth 2 miles per hour?

I am shifting at redline. Next time at the track I was going to try shifting at 5500 to 5700 instead of 6000. My 1/8 mile miles per hour is 79-80. I have had the car tuned by eld performance in maryland. It felt real good for about a week then it felt normal again. What I mean by "felt good" is the throttle response. It was reving like it was a 4v. I am going to put it on a dyno in two weeks. What could make the car feel different with anychanges?

6,000 might be a little high for your mod's. 5,700 - 5,800 should be about right.
What about your slicks? What psi do you run them at and were you spinning at launch or was the car bogging off the line?

Yes definately get steeda pulleys. It was the one of the best bolt on mods I ever made. The car pulls harder through the whole powerband, gets better MPG, and the car seemed to run smoother too. Dont get the piggyback style. You might gain 2mph or maybe 3

Man thats crazy. I believe it now. What were you racing? He ran almost the same E.T. but with much less HP and a slower 60ft.

I ordered the pulleys from here early today.removing the right headlight wont do anything for me if I have a fender cold air intake right? I leave at about 2800rpms and slide it out. What horse power does it sound like I have?250-260 maybe. Also what belt do I need for the new pulleys?

If you have the fender cold air kit then no removing the headlight will not help. You re-use the stock belt.
250 sounds about right, although I have trapped 107 with 250 rwhp. It's not just the horsepower it's the gearing, weight, tune etc.

Procs2V, Man !!!! that is very impressive 1.8s w/stock tires
I barely get 1.89s w/BFG dragradials and I thought that was pretty good They must prep the track really good! BTW whats up with the nitrous system still not working?

It works when I first spray itand as soon as I let off it flashes three times. And it wont go again. I believe it means it's going lean. I check the plugs and they are fine. I hate the system. I am going to get the injectors and fuel pump but just don't have the money to keep putting into my car. I also race a motorcycle it hard to put money in both. It even goes lean with the 80shoot.But if I only trap 100 miles per hour on motor that mean I only make around 250-260hp so if I spray a 80shoot I should still be in the 350max of the injectors write? Could something not be hook up right? I had talked to a few guys and they said there is no way that a 2v can go 18to1 and not blow up. They said that the way eld tested the system most have been wrong. But know matter what it does not work so I just don't touch it. Oh yea and about the track MIR is one of the best in the country. I go to alot of track to race my bike and I see some bad tracks. But I even made the car hook at Capitol which is one of the worse.

Damn 18 to 1 is kind of radical
Sorry to here that you've had so much problems with the systems. Ive had mine for 5yrs and it runs flawless! My car does run lean also but its cause I never tuned it my A/F is at 14:7:1 When i spray the Custom nossle 100shot my system cuts off in 3rd gear? but works fine with the 70-80 shot all thru the 1/4mile and Ive added a new fuel pump! Maybe you should have your module checked? something is definetly causing it to shut down. Also check thy wires going to the O2 sensors and your O2s, could have a bad one?
