need some tips

ok i went to the drag stip. i got about 25 passes total. not all in 1 nite but over time. i have the exedy twin HD clutch and it seems to work real good. but i cant seem to get good 60 foots. my best to date was 1.78 but i average 1.81 my best time was 12.162 at 116 with again a 1.81 60 foot. i cant seem to get it any lower. im shifting as fast as i can. im spinning in 1st gear bad and getting strong cherp's in second. im launching at 5850rpms with a 2 step. im launching off the line at about 6psi of boost as well.

im on the stock clutch line. if i change it do you think it will help me at all?? im lost for what to do. i dont want to keep going to the track and pratice just to brake something and not get better. so now im asking for some tips or help. then its worth me trying out new things and praticing them. anyone got any idea's for me.

What is your launch technique? Where are you shifting out of first?

Might be you, might be your tires, or might be the track. Hard to tell without more info.

Stage when the first set of lights turn on, do your two-step, creep SLIGHTLY to remove drive-line slack, (by then you should trip the second set of yellow lights), and quick slip/dump, shift out of 1st around 6700, (you might be out of your power band by shifting at 7k), hit every gear as quick, but PRECISELY. Shift every gear there on around 7k, (depends on how your power graph looks). If you keep spinning out of the hole play with your tire pressure or do a quick AWD burnout to heat up the tyres. Make sure you're not going through the water pit (obviously) and make sure there isn't too much debris on your tyres. HTH..
