A win is a win.How much T/M are you still running,sounds like its pulling power down low.

how in the heck do you hear that?
i've read people's replies about them hearing stuff like that and i wonder that all the time.
is it because you know what to listen for? or what?

There were quite a few people out there. It took about 35 minutes to get through the line to run.

As far as T/M, I'm not sure. Allen did my tune and I didn't specify anything to do with T/M. I'll have to ask him what he has it set at and if it would help to change it up a bit.

My time was a 9.0219 with a 2.1 60 ft and .4096 reaction time. I can just feel the 8's!!

Oh geeze..you can def. get down to the 8's easily! Get some 28.5" ET streets slapped on the back and you'll be there! Honestly, that 60' time is bad--but only due to traction reasons. Those ET's will help you cut some 1.8's!

:doh: Unfortunately I was running with the ET Streets on this pass!! I think I've narrowed down some of the issues though. Gearing is a big one (3.42's) but I'm not going to change it due to my lengthy commute. The other is that I only launched at ~2000 rpms when I should have been around 2800-3000. This would have cut my 60 ft to at least a 2.0 and time in the 8's!! There's always next time!!

Yeah, getting your launch nailed down will require a good amount of track time. Why did you only stall it to ~2000? Fear of the 60e tacking a crap on you?

Not so much the 60E but the driveshaft and components. I've heard horror stories about what can happen when you launch too hard. But yes, definately much more practice needed!!
