I think your car is probably very tired or has some other issue that is causing it to be down on power.
You haven't said what car it is either. It all seems to add up to me, nothing stands out. Don't think you'll get a 15.3 with only 84-85mph in an E-Series personally.

terminal speed is consistent with all 4 runs, so im guessing a 15.8 might be possible with how it is now?

el manual poverty pack with big heavy cow catcher(bullbar) on the front. didnt miss any gears and i would have thought if clutch was slipping it would have done it most on the start. motors done alot of k's 300+ its got pacies 4480 extractors 2 1/2 in redback exhaust. it got s**t 3.08 diff gears .what i dont get is normally when your 60ft gets quicker your overall time does to but its done the opposite.

I'm guessing by the times the first 3 were consecutive runs?
Probably going slower because of heatsoak, you can see the MPH drop. Your last run you ran 85mph again, just stuffed up the launch with a 2.5 60'

yeah they were consecutive runs i never thought of heat soak we did let it cool for a while. i just cant believe how my 60ft get better but times got slower. i was surprised with the last run it felt heaps quicker but was actually a s**t time. gunna get rid of me cow catcher and get some 3.45:1's ill just get a single spinner cause i got an lsd centre sitting on work bench then take it back to run a 15

Well bullbar is gone
 umm, well what can i say, pulled out spare tire sub woofer jacks and ran a 16.4 same sorta mph. been a bit lazy havent got 3.45s lol, wasnt too impressed i would have hoped for at least an 16.2 cause then i woulda been a bit closer to running a 15. maybe i should convince my gf to try it lol, a mate let a girl who happened to be a friend, race his vr commo and the best he could do was 16.2 and then she went 15.9  funny as at the time. maybe i should go on a diet to reduce overall weight of the car or just up the power.

motor might be tired after all those km's, maybe headgasket is fooked too?
try a major service, like reco injectors, fuel filter, plugs, leads, check compression etc. |

how do you launch? do you tag the rev limiter at all? heaps of variants that get thrown up, what suspension? etc...

back in the day i had a stock au futura auto, it ran a 15.9 in the cool, 16.3 in heat.
the weather really does make a difference. your times almost seem like somethings out.... like fuel, or plugs, or a sensor... how does it rev? does it struggle over 4000rpm?

More info on your 13.6! What'd you 60' it at? You manage to get a 2.0?

13.55 @ (from memory) 107mph was the best, did mostly 13.6-7s all night though.
thats why I asked, your making me look bad  2.1ish 60's as well, was a hot night, probably similar to yours. f**k me dead, I think I gotta get out to calder once it cools down, can't have XR6Ts running with me  And Mitch told me you couldn't drive for s**t, he must have been lying
