I had alot of runs tonight...
Good to see you are getting closer to your goal. Here is my best time slip when I was hitting 108mph for you to compare with.
It is definitely the first half of the track that will get you there.

^ Was that launch on the stock clutch? The only difference in our slips is you've got 7MPH on me in the 8th and almost 2 in the quarter, but would the launch alone really gain me a few MPH in the 8th? As Warrlaton said before I gained 27MPH in the back half, not sure if thats due to the cutout or not but i've got alot more top end then you in the run, yet i'm still running a slower time.
Shifting would be my best guess unless you bogged your 60'. I power shift through all gears and shift around 7200rpm typcially. Is it possible you are shifting to fourth prior to the 1/8MPH?. The faster 60' would typically hurt my 1/8th MPH in comparison to a slower 60' where the car is breaking loose. I also run lower tire pressure (around 25psi usually) which also would normally slow down my MPH a bit. I had the Exedy then as my throwout bearing cracked in half before I had any mods.
Up to the 330' is where things were really different. Almost a 1/2 second difference which has a huge effect on 1/4 ET.

^ If your not breaking loose, I wouldn't drop the tire pressure as it will only hurt your MPH with more rolling resistance. The bog will definitely affect MPH. What RPM were you launching at and how were you releasing the clutch? Did you ever break loose? On my good 60's, I am always breaking loose just a bit.

Not untill I got a replacement atleast
