1/4 times suck!

I'm not sure if it's altitude, 91 octane or what. Running 14.2 with tune and a few other mods. I just don't get it. 2.068 60 93.03 trap. What could it be?

How many runs did you do?
Sometimes it is not the car or the tune that cause bad times. It can be weather related or driver related. Did you shift yourself or let the car shift?

You can pedal tap the RA to 5500-6000? I'd be impressed

sure u can launch at 5k+ but it immediately triggers Slow down light cause all that tapping causes alot of heat. ive tried a 5k launch before and it was not cool at all- got slowdown light and engine bounced off the limiter like 3 times

You can't get it to 5,000 the most you can get to is 3ish which is plenty for gettin some boost. I have no issues with slowdown light....

you can do a "neutral drop" at 5.5k 6k ... but you're seriously asking for something to break in the process
