the 60ft's are killing you. with your trap speed, you are prob at least a 13.8, 13.7?

Also, how are your shifting skills, you are probably loosing sometime with the shifts

Drag radials just didn't fit the budget with this round of mods. I'm shopping for a set of stock 17's and will have M and H cheaters mounted for next season.

I think what I've learned most is getting the jitters out and getting comfortable running at the strip. If anything, I've been consistent and got some experience and I'm happy with that.

Shifting...I'm pretty sure I've got it. I'm shifting at around 6000-6100 and don't let off the gas. Once I know I have traction it's floored and I'm kicking and shifting.

I dunno, I know that there's room to improve and it's mainly in the launch.

If you're interested, here's a vid a friend put together, not my best runs but a nice job editing.

I made up almost a 1/2 second going from a 5 speed to an auto.....If your car sounds like an auto going down the track then thats just about all she will run. But if you feel your front end coming down when you shift there is room to improve. Oh and with 3.73 gears and radials or slicks your times will be greatly reduced.
