Stock VIII turbo 11.509@124.18
Well, all most got the boot. It was 98 degrees on the track so im pretty happy with the results. OK warrtalon. I did my best to get the weight sorted out. we have to do a little math tho! the truck scale said 3300 sut they round up so its between 3250-3300 #. OK, at the time i have ( 4 ) 5 gallon cans of e85 in the trunk, with my lap top and small tool set. when i did the runs i pulled the rear set set, the spare tire, and took all my tools lap top and junk off the floor board. I would guess this
lap top: 25#s
gas : 125#s
seats and junk 100#s at most
so, this would mean car by its self would be 2950-3000#
me in it 3100-3150 during runs
No changes made to the tune. could have leaned it out a bit, but it was hot out and played it safe. Boost 28psi spike falls to 23.5 or so. My afrs were 11.8-12.0 at wot. Gas was pump E85. Tires were are fedrals with 22 psi for the runs. Im going to the beach house this weekend so i cant hit the portland track. next weekend ill try to get kicked out. fyi, i think i found a trick to getting a better 60'

Good job so far and theirs obviously still more left in the ET based on your trap. Keep squeezing out better times

Much better with shaving weight - the car can move so much better without all the weight. 3150 is nice and light - got me by about 150lbs.
The traps just still don't make sense when you compare the ET with the 60'. You beat my best run by 1/1000th of a second (bastard) but with an extra 6.5mph. My 60' was 1.66 to your 1.69. Looking at the splits, I was ahead by 1/10th at the 1/8th with 4 less mph, so considering your traps seem to be consistent, then my only guess is that your 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 are slower than molasses. If you can figure out the shifting, then with this 60', you have 11.0s waiting on you.

1.69 is far from horrible. I only hit 1.66-1.68 regularly, and I'm hitting 7.35 in the 1/8th @ 93. The 3-4 is also the easiest shift, so that can't be where you're losing time. You are losing all your time in the first half between the 60' and 1/8th, which points to the 1-2 and 2-3. I also do my 3-4 before the 1/8th, but you may not. Either the early shifts are terribly slow, or the traps are reading too high.

Yeah, that's why I said it's the shifting. I noted above that your traps were consistently this high, which leaves only the shifting. The 2-3 is definitely the hardest shift, imo, but we're talking about half a second lost due to shifting if the traps are legit.
I also have a slip that says 120, but it's wayyyyyyyyyy off. The difference is that only happened once for me, but you have lots of 122+ slips.
