Also great numbers, It looks from the tape that the car is launching soft, sounds like your slow on letting the clutch out , but the number is there on the 60 foot. It didn't look at the launch that there was any spin. Good job on gear changes  
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Looks good.... what are you doing letting off the gas
on the shifts.... beat on that bad boy 
time to start testing different launch and shift RPMs
Ya looking forward to tuning up my driving skills and playing with shift points. I did not have my two stage hooked up so I was just guessing on my launches, don't even no what rpm I was at.Did you look at the suspension, it did not seem to change at all. no drop on the ass end and no lift on the front ?

Just a little lift in front but i guess you could blame the soft start for that

Here is a vid, I ran a 1.43 60' 6.58 1/8th 107.8 mph I only got 3 passes back to back and no adjustments between passes. I thought I was spinning in first and sec but it does not look like it in the vid, what do you think do you think there is more in it yet.

Are you mistaken on the rear springs... at that weight
spring it would be topped out sitting there... you
have shock settings of #4 and #1..... out of how many
Ya I would say you were write on the rear springs # 0n the spring is 12-110 so I'm guessing 110 lbs. Fronts are marked 350lbs, both f,r shocks have 17 clicks. On the front if I go any hirer than #2 it is rock hard both directions.

MUCH more like it on the springs... I think you need
to pick up the RPM to plant the tire better and do
the other things suggested.... for instance... on
my car I CANT leave at idle... I'd be all over both
lanes but if I launch at revs it plants and I get
a 1.19 60'

thanks for every thing Mr P Body I will have my two stage rev limiter hooked up for the weekend so I will start my launch a 5000 rpm and go from there, plus I will keep the pedal to the metal on my shifts. I will let you all no how it works out next week.
