Do you run an electric water pump and electric fan?

I have an electric fan. The water pump is a stewart.

do you have anyone on the starting line that can verify you are in the groove on every pass???? IMO thats probably whats happening!!

inexperienced driver combined with a new car and there's far too many variables here to determine exactly why the car is in consistent in 60 feet.

I'd suggest having an experienced racer watch you from the moment you roll into the water through staging and launch.

I also suggest setting the tires at a psi known to work and not touching them for the rest of the day.

Others things...

length/time of burnout needs to be the same every pass, stage at exactly the same temp every pass, launch at exactly the same RPM every pass, get more seat time.

Again, way to much tire!

Hi, if you don't have a trans cooler, the buildup of heat could cause the problems you're showing, and I agree with the others, slicks, and leave lower.
