Thanks. The car has always had good mph. I really want to knock the ET down more. Now that I have a feel for the 60 foot, I may add a 2-step and see what a couple pounds of boost off the line will do.
I had the tire pressure @ 16 psi hot and the sidewall was wrinkling well.

Yeah, I think it was around a 13mph headwind. Vettes do good into the wind, but no wind would make it easier.
I have a video facing backward on one pass that shows it. I know there was also someone there with a hd video camera right next to the car. I'll see if I can get that one and I'll process the one I have.
I think you caught it on the other thread, but here is the drivetrain:
•Stock MN6 transmission and 3.42 Rear Differential
•B&M shifter, McLeod RXT Twin Disk, Aluminum flywheel, DSS carbon shaft, DTE brace, 300M Hardened output shaft - both sides
Thanks, Rob. I seem to drop a tenth everytime I go to the track. I hope there are a couple more left. I wouldn't mind a low 9.80 or high 70.

9.7's @148 are coming soon with more track time. Even better if you can drive and net. a 60' of 1.42 or better. In great DA 9.6 is my guess

9.7x would be great. I think I need to get the clutch out quicker and be even smoother on the throttle squeeze. I may also have to go to a 16" tire and wheel. How many people have removed their front swaybar, mine is still attached.
Here's another view of the launch:

When I was at the Bayou Drag event a couple of weekends ago, there were two vettes there that weren't using a front swaybar. They were both automatics, but they had quicker 60 foot times and seemed to be able to keep the rear tires loaded throughout the entire run.
I may have to give it a try the next time. One guy just disconnected the driver's side end link only.

I went back and looked over the timeslips and it adds up to 22 passes so far this year.
Here's the progression:
March 29, 2013, Royal Purple Raceway, 3 passes; 10.44@143.61 w/1.72
April 5, 2013, Royal Purple Raceway, 4 passes; 10.21@145.31 w/1.63
April 12, 2013, Ben Bruce Memorial, 1 pass; 10.09@146.39 w/1.62
April 20, 2013 Lonestar Motorsports Park, 6 passes; 10.04@145.49 w/1.62
May 5, 2013 Royal Purple Raceway, 8 passes; 9.96@145.11 w/1.58
I haven't touched the boost controller or the timing. This was done with driving and ve table adjustments and getting on a track with good prep.
The 9.96 happened on the 17th pass with this combo and there is still room for improvement. Next goal is a sub 1.50 sixty foot. It's been 1.54, so it's within reach.

Here is an in-car video from the 9 second pass. Looks like there was some slight tire spin in 1st gear. The rest of the pass was fairly clean.
