First runs of the season

Here are my times

60ft -1.7701 -1.7349 -1.8241
330ft -5.2523 -5.2710 -5.2839
1/8 ET -8.1123 -8.1380 -8.1150
1/8 MPH -85.85 -86.06 -86.87
1/4 ET -12.6873 -12.6670 -12.6210
1/4 MPH -105.34 -108.41 -108.90

Mods-
Buschur TBE w/ cat
Buschur Intake
Lower ICP
Cosworth Cams
Walbro Pump
Buschur MBC
Ported Ex Mani
Ported Int Mani
Ported T. Body
S.S. O2 Housing
Buschur Reflash

Torque- 310 @ 3300rpm Horsepower- 340 @ 6700rpm (Buschur's Mustang Dyno)

This is my first time EVER at a track let alone launching the car for real. The track is by far the worst track in ohio (la rue). I think that is some of the reason my times were so crappy although I'm not making excuses. I was looking for 115+ traps and low 12's. What is the biggest reason for my high times?? Crap track?,Bad driving?, Something wrong with the car?? I would try to figure it out myself but idk how to read a timeslip as far as what needs to be improved.

Driving style- Launch at 6000 (bogged a little) shift at 7k every shift, and ride out 4th til the end of the strip

Bad track probably. the driving can always improve. Keep it at 7k shifts as there is no need to rev higher on a stock turbo. Youll be suprised at what practice can do. I have the same car and couldnt feel more sorry for your stock clutch as mine is almost toast.

Nah.. I launched it every time (only once all out at 6000) and it didn't slip or burn at all .. very clean launches (which surprises me) Not sure how many times i can launch it w/o needing a new one.. guessing a while as long as i dont roast it

you're probably pulling timing up top pretty badly, your 1/8th MPH is a little low but you should gain 24-27MPH in the last 1/8th. I would do some logs and see if you're knocking in 4th.

driving skills need to be improved especially with all those mods..

That's what i was thinking .. I read on here that 1.7's are pretty good 60ft's. So what do you think would fix the problem?? Try a diff track and see what happens.. new tune?? What?!

I'm sorry, this is going to sound completely ignorant.. but what exactly should i do to figure out if im knocking or not.. should i drop it off at buschur and see what they have to say, and just have em do a boost leak test while they're at it or what??

To see if its knocking, download mitsulogger or evoscan and do a few pulls. Do you have a wideband in the car?

Your 60's are good but you could use some practice on your shifting. The 1-2 shift is killer important. Gotta get that 330 down.
