BTW, what was the 60'/330' time?

I don't have slips with me right now. Seems like '60 was a 1.44 and the 330 was a 3.98. 1/8th mile was 6.01@122+ mph.

Need to launch harder (like the old N/A days) and push shift points up. Clutch tuning is going to be the trick. I need to have a little slippage on the launch but it needs to recover afterwards. Need a little slip/recovery on the shifts so I can nail the shifts like normal. If I get it right it won't be doing all the squatting on the shifts. It will just stay planted. It only did that because I had to shift slow to get it to hook. Much more to come.

Boost was turned down to 10 psi range...so Allan...you're probably about right on HP. Needed to get it dialed in some before cranking it up.
