so your car consistently ran the same average and best ET every pass? regardless of the weather. In case you haven't noticed it's been very hot lately, I'm sure that some cool weather and some tuning on the new setup will get everything straightened out. Is this a camaro by chance? if so it might be that driveshaft maybe you should switch back to stock and send me that new one

try this....
stracer......after seeing how serious you are on shaving the et down ...you may want to consider letting another driver with experience make a couple passes in your car for you. not that im saying that you are a bad driver, its just that sometimes we have habits that we are unaware of, and periodically it is a good idea to "watch", your car make a couple of passes, (wether it be on video, or at half track).
having someone that has actually driven your car to compare notes can be of a real benefit.
i know, i know, everyone is the "ultimate", driver........try a little humble pie and see if that et doesnt change.....

speed..... is how fast you hit the wall,
