What rpm did you launch at? I got about the same 1/8th 7.78 but wound up with a 12.27, I launched at 3500rpm.

i launched that pass at around 2800, wanted to take it easy since it was my first pass with the skinnies and the 28" tire, launched and eased into the throttle, i bet the track/car would have went a 1.6 if i would have staged up to 3500 like i normally do let her rip. gotta wait till after new years now to go back to the track and look for 11's, lol damn holidays.

Damn, you'll see 11s for sure if you stall up higher. Does the tranny lock you out of 1st & 3rd if you stall it up that high for a long period of time?

nah, i try not to let it sit at 3k+ long at the line i'll go in and stage the first amber and raise the rpm to like 2500 let a little off the brake set the second and raise it to where i want it then let her go from their. ive never had a problem with it.

Damn that sounds a bit tricky to set off the second amber. I set both ambers and then once the other person has staged, set it to 3500. Tough to do that as well, those yellows come down quickly and I try to make sure that I'm at 3500 at the time before the last yellow comes. Kills my consistency.
