Im using toyo R888. Had trouble getting under 1.9 60 foots. I tried lowing the tire pressure after the first two runs but this did not help.

Warm them up good especially if it is cold out.
I am running pilot super sports i have managed 1.84 and 1.86 repeated when i don't mess up lol.
I leave at 2,000 rpms and ride clutch out. I left traction control on the last time but don't need to really .

Wait till the tuning is available for it, it was shifting earlier than we wanted, feels like converter locked up in 5th gear the rpm's dropped off to about 4800 and the car bogged.. i think when the trans tuning is available we will be in the 9's with this set-up

Getting lower. What tire psi you running and what tires?

Also on track mode, that's a stiffer spring setting so the car won't squat as much off the launch. I'd try it in Touring and see what happens. All my runs were made in Touring.

I was there with Will, they did run in touring and the car seemed to have lazy shifts in that setting. Not sure what his tire pressure is though. Car looked really good but the weather was not great. The temp started to come down but the humidity shot through the roof. Just need some good weather.

Just curious because I only tried.......track mode/competition mode with traction control off. So what I am asking, did Farmer use incorporate the competition mode or just track mode/traction control off. My first time out, I used track mode/competition mode with traction control off. Just wondering if there is a little difference. Thanks

Guys, I have gotten better times using Tr W/tc off initially I used T thinking it was track but it wasn't ,duh ! My times were noticeably slower. No clue why. When I hit the pole it was in Tr and traction control was on but the driver was set on a- hole !

I used the following at Richmond Dragway for the 11.62 run... Mickey Thompson drag radials with the tires at 19 psi. So far my best times were in track mode with traction control off. Going tomorrow night on stock Michelin super sports to see what times i can get out of them!!
