The WOT box will help with launches, and the no lift shifting will help your mph. I always trap 1.5-2mph higher when I powershift.

What were your 1/8mile numbers on the 11.4 pass?? If the air is good and you get the 60ft down it is a good possibility you could bust a 10.90 pass.
My 1/8 mile numbers were 7.52 at 99.32mph. When you do the second gear burnout are you starting in first and shifting to second or are you just starting your burnout in second?

Start the burnout in 2nd gear. Thats a good mph in the 1/8th... definitely enough to run 10s.

I would love too, but no way my schedule will permit that far of a trip. I will HOPEFULLY be drag racing a little closer to the house on Sunday though. 1/8th mile only, but still fun!

I would be ecstatic to see a 10.9xx pass. We shall see. Hopefully the weather cooperates for this weekend.
