a little update 12.01@127.3
if your having a problem keeping the car boosted up between shifts then your not shifting fast enough and/or your just banging gears and the car is losing RPM. you need to almost slip the clutch a little in 1-2 shifts for sure, and probably the 2-3 shift was well. as far as launching goes air your tires down and dump it. even spinning all through 1st you should be able to get a 2.0 60ft (which still isnt great). if you pulled a 1.6 you'd be around 11.0. worse case get some stickier tires, nittos or BFG drag radials. whatever you do, dont let the car bog down off the line cuz then your just waiting for it to spool up and killing your E.T.

damn man... AWESOME mph!!
Have you tried driving through the wheelspin... you know, letting it bang off the rev limiter abit... I've was doing that with Michael's car 'cause we were having the same problem with bogging or wheelspin.
I ended up with a measly 1.95 sixty foot, 11.8 @ 125.1 in Michael's car. Then we tried to get a weight reduction run (you saw all the stuff we pulled out) then we ran into our little issue (ended up being on the wrong map!)
any chance you will be going again this weekend? I am gonna try to get mine there for real this time. Looking for 127 traps
