Default New track times!

Went to Speedworld Friday night and had an OK night.
Track conditions were OK I suppose, it's hot here in AZ.
Run #1==Didn't heat the new NITTOS
RT------.522
60'-----2.136
1000'---5.804
1/8-----8.793@81.996
1/4-----13.628@102.205
My shift points were: 1-2=Stock 2-3= -2mph and 3-4= -2mph

Run #2==Heated the NITTOS up!
RT------.200
60'-----2.085
1000'---5.774
1/8-----8.763@82.631
1/4-----13.572@102.663
Changed 2-3 shift to -5 mph

Rn #3
RT------.067
60'-----2.069
1000'---5.747
1/8-----8.738@82.450
1/4-----13.554@102.604
Changed shift points to 1-2 -1mph 2-3 +2mph 3-4 +1 mph

Rn #4-Heated them up again
RT------.184
60'-----2.165
1000'---5.833
1/8-----8.806@83.772
1/4-----13.561@103.639

Run #5
RT------.010
60'-----2.059
1000'---5.786
1/8-----8.784@82.772
1/4-----13.574@102.832

Run #6--Spun off the line bad
RT------.273
60'-----2.319
1000'---6.058
1/8-----9.063@82.928
1/4-----13.850@103.009

Run #7
RT------.208
60'-----2.110
1000'---5.810
1/8-----8.800@83.208
1/4-----13.573@103.229

Now I know that I can do better than a 13.5 given cool weather and I pull better 60' with my shift points set right.
Does anyone have an A4 with 3.42s that can give me some good shift points and firmness? I noticed if I keep it in 2nd longer it feels stronger but I wanted to experiment a little.
I need to work on my RT some as well.
I love the new Nittos 555R extremos rule.
I picked up almost 4 tenths with gears and NITTOS.

I'm waiting on a good deal for a Yank or Vigilante but right now I can't shell out that much for a converter.
Thanks guys.

Nice numbers. Now if you really want it to ET then get YANKED!! I went from a 12.97 best to a 12.41 best with the addition of a SY3500. That is just what my heavy assed WS6 (3790 lbs) needed.
