Well the car now has 1000 miles and time for some more 1/4 mile action...today the humidity was over 65% and was really seen in the mph's but I did get better on the launch's and got 3 2.0XX 60's in but I botched one of them with a missed 3rd gear...below are the times from today and the best times from previous...the car has a vararam and a predator base tune...I am trying to see where to improve my times before I start doing burnouts with these tires (right now I just spin them a tiny bit coming to the line to get dirt off them)...if I shift 2nd any faster the car just spins a ton and I can't get myself to shift 3rd or 4th any faster...I am shifting at redline so I might start playing with shift points but I don't know...I guess its time to start doing burnouts and getting some 1.9s...
its manual...I was going to do bracket racing tonite but left to get some gas and when i got back I had just missed out by less than a minute to do the qualifier run...

if you don't mind me asking, whats your launching technique? what rpm are you launching at?
I have found doing a 2800 slow lift works the best but the rpm varies a little depending on the conditions...I just roll up to the light, have the first yellow come up, I raise clutch till I roll foward a tad and the second yellow comes up...then I push clutch down just a little so it doesn't roll...then I raise rpms to my desired point, when 3rd yellow goes (today I wasn't focusing on r/ts as I wanted to nail my launches) slowly lift clutch and floor it and after first 10-15ft let out full and it should spin a little and just go...
