right on 954. Your mph is better on all 4 runs than the 1st time. That says something. You are driving better. Baby steps is how I roll. If you're like me, you'll always have a junk run or two. Just look to beat your previous best each trip to the track, even if it's only by .01. You'll get more comfortable with the whole process which will lead to better passes. You said you tried new shiftpoints. What were they?

on the first trip my best was;

60ft- 1.91sec e/t-13.32@104.78

on the second trip my best was;

60ft- 1.99sec e/t- 13.36@106.69

Im happy with the speed improvement, but not so much with the times, i still need to work on my launches, i was spinning alot more this time around. I think the shift points made all the difference though in gaining more speed. 1-2 was at 6500, 2-3 was at 6300, and 3-4 around 6100-6000.

I think if I can get my 60ft in the 1.8 range maybe I will see a 12.9-13.1 @ 107.5-108mph. All the tips im getting on here are deff helping. I was also the only mach there out of the 20 or so mustangs. I had one guy come up to me and said "why are you running that thing, its too nice, it should be in a garage!!"

Good job, as long as there's some improvement and you made it home save and sound it's a win in my book. In another note I have to play the lotto, I mentioned earlier the op would get another 2mph.

not counting the 60' time, using the tenth/2 tenth rule, the 2nd trip's best pass is the better of the two. Watching your vids two things are evident to me...you're spinning your tires and your easy-going shifting counts for atleast 2 tenths deduction. I understand though, not everyone wants to beat on their baby like guys like myself. Keep the shiftpoints you've gone to. They've worked the best for me anyhow. Work on the launch. Use the clutch to keep the wheels from spinning while keeping those rpms up. I look forward to a new best with your next trip to the track.

your burn out in the vids also dosnt seem to be that long I would also suggest to do alonger burn out once to see if that helps your 60' times
