Were you spinning or slipping the hell out of the clutch?

trap looks good for 11.35 with a 1.65 60ft.

Back off on the 2 step to 5k-5500 and see if it helps.

How many runs did you get in? What was your best 60ft?

Try to let slip a little more. Like just a little. I will let the car start rolling and then let the clutch out quick and i get consistant 1.70 and below. Also try doing a burn out but make sure all for wheels get in water or u might end up breaking something.

Oh BTW I have some Azenis AutoX tires and i have the pressure @ 20Psi in from and 25 in the rear.
