SO the race fuel hurt your times? What did you do? run the tank down at the track, then drive to a gas station, and put some regular in it and ran faster?
Race fuel will not neccesarily hurt you, maybe just not help you I have run 100+ octane in my 94, didn't affect a thing just made it smell cool(reason for race gas, was I was sputterting so I put 1.5 gallons of race fuel in for the last 2 runs and drive to gas station after the track closed) Long term woudl effect o2s(if your in a FI car)
Timers are screwy...you say you cannot control your wheelspin but you hit a 1.7 60'? Thats hard not easy to hit, especially on stock suspension... What gears do you have(Yes I am asking a question could you please answer it, even asked politely) Stockv6cam hit a 1.8 on drag radials and 3.73s... which lead to a nice time but not so high mph... Also what tires are you on, Drag radials, slicks, definitely not street tires, unless you converted to AWD [img]smile.gif[/img]
and still running low 16s? with a 97mph trap? That means you might have spun and got a horrible run but like said you had a 1.7 60', which means you probably hooked well.
The first couple runs seem about right... I forgot what my 85 2.8L trapped but it ran mid to low 17s... I bet you could get a better 60' 2.3, is a little high, maybe a 2.0-2.2 depending on your gears, which woudl dip it down to the high 16s.
to help, my old 2.8L, had a K&N filters, bottom of the airbox cutout, 3 or 4in. tubing tunning to the grill and some sort of aftermarket exhaust, had a nice rumble. And a Accel ignition coil(also plugs and wires). I actually still have the ignition coil.
