Am I missing something?

Ok so last year I was running a 62/71/13ss, 100Hp Injectors, Quad Adrenaline, smarty, fass 150 and a built tranny. Tires were BFG AT's that were pretty worn down. 285/75/16's.
That set up went 13.481 @ 97.39 MPH at my hometown track, and 13.45 @ 99.05 MPH at another (better) track.

Now this year, everything is the same except the following:

Stepped up to a 200 Hp injector, tires changed to Master Craft Courser C/T's, 305/70/16. Ditched the smarty, wired in a BD Rad, and got the custom tuning for the adrenaline. best pass so far with this set-up is a 13.44 @ 97.62MPH.

You would think that an injector thats 100 hp more would net me more than .01, and hardly anything in the MPH. Of course there are alot of variables in weather and track conditions, but I was really expecting to be closer to the 12's. Am I missing something? :bang:what:
 
I forgot to add that my VP could be weak. It is the original with 115,000 on it. Last summer it had a hard hot start issue, so who knows.
 
Still Cant beat up on the ol 6-speed! huh. I'd say The VP is not very strong@115k. I'd try an edge drag comp as well to see if that helps but I doubt its in the tuning. I also dont think the turbo is hurting you to much yet. How thick is your New HG? When you decompress you lose power and cylinder pressure but give yourself the ability to push more fuel in. Hope you didnt decompress it to much(to thick of a gasket)
 
bigger tire weighs more harder to turn, and you could be dumping to much fuel on the bottom end now with the bigger injectors. what are you 60 time now versus before
 
bigger turbo for those injectors, why did you ditch the smarty? Just wondering.
I just had it before to remove some TQ managment.

VP might be getting weak. Any vids of the run? How much smoke?
No vids, but there is a constant black haze out of the stacks. Theres definatly fuel there.

How thick is your New HG?
Stock thickness

what are you 60 time now versus before
Pretty much the same. 1.84 on the best run.
