Default BAD trap speeds at the track

I went to the track last night for the first time since all the bugs were worked out of my car and had a good set of tires. The temp was a crisp 45 degrees and I was expecting 100+ traps finally.

Bam 98MPH AGAIN. I have nothing to blame it on but the car now. I've gone 14.2 14.3 and 14.4 all at 98 MPH. My mods are Full exhaust, test pipes, Kinetixs upper intake, cold air kit.

Any ideas..... and yes i know the ETs are a little low even for the 98 traps

wrong section but i am sure it will be moved. where are you shifting at? what does the rest of your slip look like? how do you launch? and what track did you go to?

Has your car been tuned since adding the mods? They can yank power from your car if not setup properly.

Actually that trap matches the ET's your running. Theyre just not normal for your mods.

No the car has no tuning done since the mods. Is there a reflash that can be done or will I need to get a "chip" tuned.

Also I'm shifting out at 6600

Thats a pretty impressive set-up. Most likely you will want to post your times here: https://my350z.com/forum/drag/233840-top-25-1-4-mile-times-for-tt-st-supercharger-nitrous-bolt-ons-stock.html
