Hey hey, raced last weekend, finally the season started. This time I got 11.1@126mph Since last year I put lighter hood, front Strange coilovers, some 130lbs of weight in the trunk, and started using transbrake. My best was 11.1@126, with 1.74 60'. But I still feel car should have been much quicker from the line

Also I just checked converter slip just before gearchanges. I change gears at 6000rpm, and at this moment converter slip is still about 760-800 rpm. Do I change too early, should I maybe raise change points so it changes at some 6200rpm? I guess converter would catch up with engine rpms much better, but don't know if it would gain speed/ET?
