times i went to the track tonight and was pretty dissapointed but it was my first night out soo maybe ill get better but it was pretty bad ...
2.3 60 ft
9.1 8th @81
13.89 @103
i could never get a good launch i always bogged pretty bad and i was kinda babying it by shifting at around 5400 or soo but my question is .... are my low 60 ft times killing my quarter mile times that much or am i shifting way too low

Your first time to the track with a car, setup, combo, etc isn't going to be great more often than not. Don't sweat it. You are shifting too low and your 60' is hurting a lot as well. Should be able to get at least 2.0 with practice, practice, practice. With lid and full exhaust your mph should be higher, I'm guessing the low shift points are to blame for that. Set that shift light up to at least 5800, practice those launches/shifts and get some more practice under your belt.

your launch obviously needs work, but much more easily fixed is your shifting points...i believe the stock rev limiter is set at 6200 rpms...in my car i take it out to 6000 rpms when i shift it makes good power and nothing seems to be wrong with doing it
