Help me with my times and mods

Ok both these runs the car had same mods, except
on the first run car was mail in dynoflash and no meth, it was 75 deg with 30% humidity and ran:
holding 22psi of boost
60ft 1.755
8th 8.068@86.687mph
1/4 12.517@113.652mph

second run is with custom road tune dynoflash, with meth and 88 deg with 90% humidity
holding 25psi boost
60ft 1.720
8th 7.934@88.686mph
1/4 12.370@115.660mph

I would have thought had ran much better with the meth than i did, can someone tell me by my times whats up, I think the weather was not helping but any other help from the vets would be apriciated.

Not much to say other than the fact that your car is very fast, but you haven't learned to drive it yet. You gained 2mph after the meth/tune in much worse conditions (heat and humidity = power loss).

You have an 11.8 in that car if you start shifting harder....a LOT harder.

Honestly im sure your right man, my clutch was starting to slip a tad too. Please dont think im hating on the tune, the cars pulls like an out of control freight train up top. Very satisfied there, just trying to figure out the track issues. Also i was trying to shift faster than normal, but i dident push it. Then we leave the track and my boys TC in his 05 took a crap on a act 2900 and like 9 runs. Where my car has a **** load of runs on it with no problems. Mad fo a very bad day, hate to see one of my buds have issues of that cost, oh well what can ya do.

Yes, just not letting off the gas.

Do you lift slightly or just keep it planted?

Now that I have the Exedy 4-puck, I don't lift AT ALL unless I accidentally do it from instinct. I wasn't able to do no-lifts on the previous clutches, so my natural instinct is to lift, which means I have to concentrate to remind myself not to. It's amazing how effortlessly I can do it with this Exedy.

No. I only get that when I lift throttle then hammer it again but don't time it right. When I no-lift, it's a much smoother shift interestingly enough...

8thWonder, I don't think they wanted me to talk it up too much until I've done extensive testing. Last thing we want to do is have me rave about it after ONE racing weekend only to have it blow up my tranny while sending shrapnel through the engine after my next trip to the drag strip. That's not likely to happen, but there is much testing to be done and much abuse to be applied. I will drag again this week but with sticky 255-width RT-615s instead of my Blizzaks. Then, on May 5th, I will romp on it at the local road course to see how it holds up.

I will, however, ask them for cost and availibility details today.
