I'm having trouble with my photobucket uploading so I'll break it down:
Here is the best pass. not sure what to think of the 60', i couldn't duplicate it. but the balance of the run is also quicker ?????
60' 1.6390
330 4.8242
594' 6.9049
1/8 7.3732
1/8mph 96.10
1/4et 11.4271
1/4mph 118.34
My other passes looked more like this:
60' 1.9132
330 5.0528
594 7.1222
1/8 7.5918
1/8mph 95.80
1/4et 11.594
1/4mph 119.04
let's disect this turd. not impressed with it for 560 rwhp.

Awesome short time! With N/A 450whp,M6,& M/T Drag radials my very best on a competition prepped track was 1.79-60', 11.39 @ 121/122mph. I thought I was missing a couple mph on that run and should've seen 124ish.Maybe I missed where your track is but altitude can be a huge factor. My run was at Memphis and comparing a M6 w/ DR, to an A6 w/ Nittos is probably apples an oranges, but for what is worth, I'm w/ pit-man. I'd expect 10 second slip w/ 130+mph.
Another thought is despite a great short time, your still having wheel spin issues, so feathering, lifting, or short shifting the top of 1st, 2nd, and possibly 3rd is definately going to have a negative impact on your ET and you MPH.
As precaution you can try to logging some runs to make sure the big things are in line, like AFR, Timing, KR. Yeah, you may be battling convertor or transmission slippage, but its hard to tell how far off your run is unless it is WOT through the higher gears. You could be missing 10mph at the big end because you never got up to 110mph by half track.

I turned TC off, 28psi in tires. Tried from idle, then slightly higher rpm(best short time), then started brining it up against the convertor later. My best was early runs.
