What am I doing wrong? Check out my 1/4 time

I have a 335 coupe auto and my mods are V3, DCI and no secondary cats and 93 oct.

I ran the 1/4 a few times and kept getting the same time which is
13.2 @ 106 and my 60 foot was 2.0

What am I doing wrong? I should get between 12.5-12.8 @ around 110-112

My tire pressure was 25 psi and it was around 70 degrees out

Well, you are very consistent if you got the same time over and over. 60 ft looks good too. It sounds like your car is running just fine, and 13.2 is pretty quick, so I don't see a problem. Unless you are saying that other people with V3 are in the 12s trapping at 110-112? But you do have an automatic, so you have to take into account that you are giving up some power compared to a 6MT.

Stock their getting 13.4. If you look on drag times, automatics get as good as manuals. I just think I should get somewhere in the 12's

I been to the track with just Dinan cat back and K&N... Only 2x's on a track. went from a no launch, full gear - 14.392@102.68. To a 2nd run of 13.51 @ 104.37, Shifting at 6,250, and a 2K launch. Traction off both times. Shifting early made a huge difference, even though The Visnu should keep spoolin.

Are you getting tire slippage at the launch? Most of the 1/4 mile runs are made or broken with the launch. I would wager you should be in around 12.8s or lower with those mods. And you should be shifting at around 6200-6400 rpm to stay at peak power..

You have to also factor in humidity, track elevation changes ...

What would be a good baseline to see is for you to uninstall the PROcede for a few runs and see what your times are. Then you can compare the times you got with the PROcede.

What drag strip and did you get the DA for that day? Also, the short time (60 foot) is the most important thing when it comes to fast ET. Trap is based on power output. I would try and get that 60ft under 2.0 for sure.
