Try using 28'' tires instead of 26''. I got better times with bigger tires.

yes. it is only at 6 psi and it was 98% humidity at the track. we were talking to all the blown cars and none of them were running the times they should have been.

i tried my 30" tires first and got a 14.8. that was the first run though and i changed the shift points and rev limit and firmness. the next major mods are custom cai, meth, smaller s/c pulley, and maybe small shot of nitrous. but i am still going to get the stall and shift kit also.

I hate to sound like an ***, but if I put close to $5k down on a blower and made low 14 sec. passes, I'd be highly pissed. You need to figure out whats up with that thing. My truck ran a 9.14 in the 1/8 pulling sorry 60ft's with a tune, 3000 stall, and headers. And that run was in the heat too, it should've went 8.8x's..

blowers and humidity don't mix very well. i know it runs better for a fact. since i don't have an intercooler it is VERY doggy when it is 90*+ weather and 98%humidity. NONE of the supercharged vehicles were running good.

I think a custom tune will help tremendously Ive dealt with the whipple craptronics before and its well worth getting rid of, Id also ask nelson to look at your fuel pressure if you get the 42's and the tune.

i was thinking the same thing. F%$@ those whipple electronics. all they do is hold back HP. what is a good set of injectors to get? i know the truck has more it just needs to let loose.
