What am I doing wrong?

[Lynix]

Had my Stinger now going on 2 years and my Jb4 for about 1.5 years. I recently got a Dragy because I wanted to see my 0-60 times and they seem to be pretty poor and not what I was expecting. Along with the jb4 the only other performance mods I have are an Agency Power catback and the DIY spectre intakes. I did a couple of runs early today and my 0-60 times were around 4.7-4.8 secs. I was running map3 on 93 but also went down to map2 and had similar results. GT2 AWD. Am i just launching poorly or is there something else here going on? If it makes any difference I also have aftermarket Niche wheels with Firehawk Indy 500s 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. Any advice is appreciated.

Brake boost switch makes a big difference in 0-60 times.

You have launch control. Are you using it? Being AWD, you have a little more weight but AWD cars, from what individuals post and having looked at Draggy results, they produce the quicker times. Environmental factors play a part as well. For reference, mine with a JB4 on Map 3, HKS plugs, fuel wires, and drop in panel filters clocked me at 4.27 sec on Draggy.

You "should" have a better time than me. I use should lightly because of so many factors that play into 60 times. Because you are AWD, you will post more consistent times than RWD with the extra grip you have. Also, are you using fuel wires?

RWD with the mods in my sig, 4.34 sec. 0-60 and 12.47 sec quarter mile is the best I've done on Dragy. I always have traction issues. I put on a bit wider Pilot 4S tires on recently, but haven't done any runs since. I also don't practice launching either.

I would think launching with AWD would be much easier. It takes some serious boost to break into sub 4 sec 0-60, and AWD, and the brake snip mod. Or Lozic or other ECU tunes that don't limit boost at launch. If you added water meth, run map 7, and did the brake snip mod, I bet you could run sub 4 sec easy. Also keep in mind, lost of cars can break the 5 sec barrier, but not a ton of cars break the 4 sec mark. If you can drive mid 4's on the street, that's a quick car. I also put a custom mode on my Dragy which is 40-80 mph. Best time there is 3.66 seconds, just for reference. That takes the launch factor out of the equation. Start from a roll and hammer it.

I do have the fuel wires and I was using launch control. I’m just trying to figure out why I am getting stock times with the JB4

Are you building boost properly? Prior to launching?

Environmental factors play a huge part. How warm the engine is. Outside temp and road surface. Maybe also bad gas.

Temperature could play a part, I live in Florida and right now it’s consistently mid 80s night and day. Typically I fill up at Sam’s, I’ll try Costco next time and see if there is a difference.

And your filling with 93 correct?

Yep
