first time at the track!..Stage 1
the whole thing with the trpas/power/60ft is quite confusing some times...
I agreee with Warr thought that your power in not high to make these lower ETs which is proven from your traps...
on my very first pass ever with a 2.1sec 60ft i managed a 12.8 but with 112mph trap
second i did a 1.9sec 60ft and a 12.49 ET with 113mph
third i did a 1.9 60ft and 12.45 with 114mph
fourth i did a 1.72 60ft and 12.14 with 114.2 mph
stock clutch, restrictor pill on, cat, shifting over 7500-7600rpm (bad) on 23psi...
my point is if the car has the power it will show it even with crappy 2.1 60fts...
I think definitely you need more mods...

Depending on where the mail in flash came from you might actually be making some power higher than 7100. I found that when I had that combo (my differing opinions on tuning aside) 75-7600 yielded the best shifts. I ran 12.09 @ 112.5 (peak of 113.53) with more or less the same mods minus fuel pump in my MR, stayed in 4th the whole way. I was stock turbo and cams, on 18's, and really only had a drop in, my tune, and TBE when I made those passes.
All IX's have very close to the same 1-4 gear ratios, unlike VIII's where the gsr/rs and MR are much different. He shouldn't be shifting into 5th yet, period.
