Need help getting 60' down..

First time back to the track in 3 years and I didnt do so bad.. But I need practice.Any Suggestions on how to get my 60' lower than a 2.3? My RT gets better every run so that isnt an issue... Just need Shifting ideas and any other helpfull hints an how to get them darn 60's down... BTW I am FWD.. AS the name indicates I have a Ralliart.ANd please no "shoulda gotten a Evo" remarks.I hear that alot and regret not getting one when I could have(parents needed to borrow my car at the time).
Thanks

2.3 is my best so far in the ralliart. infact, its the best anyone has gotten in the registry.

what tire pressure are u running? stock tire?
what RPM are you launching at? slip or feather?

i had good luck at ~24psi, 2400rpm, feathering. that was /w stocks. i might go to the track tonight, so we'll see if i can get into 2.2 =)

You need to find the balance between spinning and bogging while spinning ever so slightly..Drop the front tire pressue alittle and you could even buy spring spacers at an auto parts store for your rear springs to help weight transfer..2.2 is probably the best youll get
