Not much to say. Launch a little better and shift MUCH faster. I'm guessing it's bogging a bit between shifts and having to re-spool.

Yeah, just work on the basics. What kind of tires are you running?

Might try dropping some air out of the tires. 25psi on drag radials is alittle high. What are you launching at? 1.7 60' is pretty high for drag tires.

something is going on with that slip, did you miss 2-3? or perhaps the 3-4. Starts out ok then slows then picks up. If you get a 4.6, and a 7.2 you should be runnin around 11.2, not bad. What RPM are you shifting at? try to keep it high as the car will fall off between shifts if you shift too low.

oh 6250 on the 2 step just checked.

Good catch, didnt even notice the 1/8th mile times. When I ran the time in my sig I was almost 1 mph faster and about the same ET. Then you picked up 4mph and .1 ET in the back half.

Well, some think they are fast and really are not. Here's my example:

If you shift that fast or faster, then something is wrong with your car, but from the splits, it looks like you're falling out of boost on the bigger turbo between shifts.
