Talking to any old racer at any track and they will tell you to fill out a log book on every run with the vital stats. Then in the future you know what to dial in when the DA is off or changing throughout the event.

The rest of our season is Pro Street races so I gotta get my Pro Tree RT ready to rock....that light will kick your *** if your not ready for it. LOL I have to deep stage and bring up my rpms to 1500 to have a chance of a .5 something. Anything slower and I have lost already.

I would run my 06 gt about 13.7 on test and tune nights. But bracket racing I would leave at 1500 rpms (popping the clutch for consistency and yes it would bog) shifting at 4000 rpms so it would be easier to hit my shift point rather than hitting the rev limiter. I would usually run a 14.10 depending on temperature and wind direction.

Dial a time you know you can run like I ran 14.10 in time trials, I would dial 14.20 to make up for excessive spinning or anything else that can go wrong and stand the car on its nose going through the traps if nothing went wrong.

The rest of my season I have to run the Pro Street 12.90 class. So that means I have to run 12.90 I have the car so detuned to run that number wheel spin isnt a concern at all with 305 wide drag radials. LOL
