By the looks of your slip there is quite a bit left in it. I did find it a little odd you only pick up 23 mph in the back half.

Congrats either way on the personal best.

Good looking times so far, keep up with trying and I'm sure you'll get a good pass eventually, I still have yet to get to the track for the 1st time even, I'm sure my times are going to be horrible.

I agree with above, something ain't right... I was running those times, quicker actually, with only MBC, TBE, tune & cone filter on a full weight VIII.

your 1/8th MPH is suspect, do a boost leak test.

did i mention i cant drive lol
i just cant get the launch down...this was also on normal driving tire psi, no air was taken out

the biggest thing i see is im running out of 4th gear right before i cross...i tried holding it letting it bump the rev limiter and ran like 12.3 something....This time i pushed in the clutch and coasted and actually picked up better e t and more mph, but not much
the 2 step needs raised, along with the rev limiter so i can hold out 4th

get those 60's down and you will have that 11 sec time. but the higher 2 step, lower tire pressure and raising the rev limit a little if possible will def help.

Again....it is very odd you only gain 23 mph in the back half. At that point you should be in 4th gear and even the worst driver should be able to keep the gas to the floor.
