Only changes I have had a chance to make was raise the shift points. Before I was shifting at around 6300 and I moved it up to around 6650. Car shifted great but right out of the hole there was no improvement. As the night went on the gas went from half full to less then 1/4 and the temps dropped. I think that was the reason for the increases. I put the passes in order specifically so you can see how that affected the times/traps.

Track altitude: about 250 ft, DA for the night: about 2250. Yeah it was muggy with about 80-90% humidity. But we ran anyway for fun. Car ran good for the weather I thought, and pulled the driver tire 6-8 inches every run. Felt awesome 
Here's how the slips stacked up:
Time...7:14.....7:18.....9:08.....9:34.....9:40... ....9:49
60'.....1.591....1.602...1.581....1.590...1.596... ..1.608
1/8.....7.350....7.342...7.316....7.344...7.321..... 7.327
1/8.....92.48....92.66...92.76....92.47...92.91..... 93.06
1/4....11.573..11.539..11.525..11.568..11.526...11.5 17
1/4....116.82..117.13..117.14..116.55..117.08...117. 59
And a couple of vids:

Since the last run it has a Fast92, AI 243s, PA Racing K member, Midwest bumper supports F+R, Strange 12 bolt. I was running about 3/4 tank of gas and an ice chest in the back. I know the 12 bolt is slowing me down some (over the previous runs) but I drove home so it's worth it 
Car is also tuned by a rookie tuner (me) and is set to conservatively shift around 6400. It ran exactly how you would find it any day on the street. Nothing added or subtracted.

When the weather gets good you will be low 11s and probably pop 120 if your car is like mine.
Also, when you go through the water, don't spin in the box or right next to it. Roll through the water box and roll forward slowly about 6-7 feet - then stop and do the burnout. This will have you sling less water into your wheel house to drip on the track and potentially cause you to spin and it will track less water toward the starting line. The other racers will appreciate your consideration.

I try to barely clip the second light, seems my 60ft is slightly better this way. I know with better weather and lighter wheels 10s would be in the bag. I like the sleeper look of the chrome wheels though. When the weather is better I may up the shifts for a run or two and see if I can go for a few tenths quicker.

Have run recently about 10 more passes. Changes are: Lightweight battery, Midwest chassis drag bar, speed inc carpet, sjm abs delete, firecore50 wires.....ET streets are bald and it was acting funky coming out of the hole but I did get a new personal best, 1.56 60ft, 7.20@95. Track wasn't running 1/4 at the time but I'm predicting it was a legitimate 11.30 pass. New changes are removing inner fender supports, removing front sway bar, aluminum radiator, and a full 17"Racestar setup. Inching closer to 10s NA I hope.
