Default Need help getting a little faster at Bracket Racing

my ET N/A is 10.16 to 10.18 all day in 1/8, i would like to be in the 9´s so i could be in another category, 9.99 and lower is another category, i don't like nitrous for bracket racing since my ET don't stay the same because of the bottle pressure even using a heater....

what would you recommend to do so my ET drops a little NA??

any opinion are welcome

Upgrade to Nelson Tune if TSP stands for texas speed. I dropped .3 sec going from txspeed dynotune to Nelson Mail order.

What mph are you trapping? I'm trying to figure why your et's arent about a full sec quicker. You may have A LOT left in the tune, whats your 60'?

More Gear will make you faster in the 1/8 and will keep you consistent... In your shoes, I'd start with gear and tuning... 4.56's aren't bad on the street at all
