Default Time machine.

With that set up, 11:50-11:25's=Seat time.(20-50 passes. Experiment w/ rear & front tire pressure. Recheck pressure after ea. run. Shift light. Don't power shift into 2nd gear. Don't waint untill you see green light at the lights. Stage shallow. Get good burnout in 2nd gear to heat up the rubber. You have the car set up to get there. Never Ever Wheel Hop. If you do , let off the gas!. Good luck.

Good advice but reaction time does not influence ET. I have blotted out the guy/gal in the lane next to me and left when I was ready. This allowed me to focus on my car only and produce the best ET.

To the OP- Congrats. Provided that there is good track prep and heed the advise from bumble-z, you should be able to obtain low to mid 1.6x 60's. You may need to experiment with launch rpm and clutch release. By cutting your 60' by 0.250, you will cut down ET by 0.375+/-. Good luck and let us know the results.

Nice run. I just wanted to add that nittos need heat so don't be afraid to do a big burnout. I would run them around 15 psi.
As Gary said, work on the 60'.

hummm...with some fine tuning and maybe a few more runs there is no reason why you won't take at least another 2 tenths off that time, even with out adding any more mods
