How to run mid-low 11's....

Most Wanted -
Ryu-
At what RPM's does ur car drop too when you launch?
Most Wanted if you remember I'm getting a good 60', 1.64, but the car drops to 3500 rpm and is hurting my 1/8 mile. You said I need to slip it a lil more to keep the rpm's up and I'm just wondering what the most it should drop to.

You can calculate which gear you are in by your MPH pretty easily. You just need to know your gear ratios, tire diameter and RPM that you shift at from 3rd to 4th.
Here is a simple calculator:

According to Most-Wanted's first post, he's doing 91-92MPH a tthe 1/8th. Assuming he had stock tire size of 235/45R17's at the time and shifted at 7400 RPM, anything over 87MPH means he was in 4th when he crossed the 1/8 mile beams. If he shifted above 770 RPM, he was at the very top of 3rd.

Most Wanted - what do you recommend for shift points...i know its been asked a million times, but do you still recommend 7200 for all gears? stock evo ix turbo btw...my dyno graph is in this thread i made
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/se...93-octane.html
peak 364whp at approx 6800rpm peak 358wtq approx 3550rpm. sorry the graph kind of sucks but the scanner sucks. hp starts falling at 7300 (which is the end of the graph)
im on stock bbs mr wheels with goodyear eagle f1 gsd3 255/40/17 tires usually around 23psi all around. best time below
R/T - .198
60' - 1.665 (two step at 5500rpm building approx 10psi)
1/8 - 7.761
MPH - 88.16
1/4 - 12.171
MPH - 108.11 (probably due to poor tire size)
i need to break 11's!!! thanks!

This is my first post on here, great read and felt like I had to say something. I must admit you do things differently in the US to here in Europe (Ireland).
My best time so far is 12.6ET but my best 60ft is 1.6seconds with minimal tuning (standard engine), but a standalone ecu in a full weight evo 5 (including spare wheel while on the strip...forgot I hadn't taken it out) on Toyo proxie road tires at 30psi on standard wheels. I'm still using the standard turbo and cams. Also running our watered down excuse for petrol (here in Ireland we cannot get high octane fuel until recently, but it's not readily available and has an inconsistant octane rating). Far from impressive times I know...shame on me!
Typically I launch between 5000 and 5500rpm. I run without launch control but do have anti lag.

60 footer 1.722, 1.762, 1.669, 1.678. (the 1.6's were with doing mini burnouts at the line to get tires warm/dirty and dust off)
MPH 115 all across.
1/8 mile 7.730-7.747 @ 89.3-90.4 MPH
tires 22 psi front 23 psi rear launching at 5812 rpm.

Most-wanted you mentioned the S-Techs work good for you and I have them as well. Between that and the lower tire pressure my 60's have been consistantly in the 1.6's.
Next year I'd like to get on a road course and don't think the S-techs would be all that great for it so I'm thinking about swift springs or coilovers. I know I'll do more 1/4mile events than road course so I don't want to loose a lot of ground switching to the wrong setup. Any thoughts? I'm thinking coilovers due to there adjustability.... softer at the 1/4 and stiffer at the road course?
