Disappointed with time, help needed!!!!
Disappointed with time, help needed!!!! Took my car to GLD yesterday. It was my first time this year, with all the new toys. I was hoping for mid 12’s. Didn’t happen. My time went
60’ 1.890
330 5.403
1/8 8.301
MPH 86.60
1000 10.765
¼ 12.824
MPH 110.18
I have everything listed below plus control arms, panhard bar, adj torque arm, sub frames, eibach pro springs, and MT ET STREETS. I tried playing with tire pressure, but I could not find a sweet spot with the psi. What's an average psi for those tires? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

I had the best luck with ET streets at about 15.5psi hot in my car , but every car is different...Is the car tuned , where is the A/F at ..where were you shifting, where you hammering the gears or just shifting. PRACTICE, maybe you will get better...
The car was tuned by speed inc. I tried shifting at different spots each run. I shifted anywhere between 6 and 6.5. I shifted as fast and hard as i could. Here is a pic of my dyno sheet, but it was b4 rear end. I got about 10 runs in last night. Weird thing is that I was consistently at 12.8x. I just can't accept that as being my cars best.
i was there,too...which car was yours..maybe you saw mine, kinda hard to miss
i run 11.5 psi HOT in my 26X11.5X15 et streets, i have to in order to hook 7000 rpm clutch dumps.
could use a bit more info on shift points..launch technique..suspension..etc..

I saw you there last night. I have a red ss with old z28 rims in back. Nothing that would stick out, unlike yours 
. I launched at various rpms. I started out at 2500 and worked my way up to almost 4000. I would rev to selected rpm and just dump clutch and mash the gas. I listed all my suspension mods on my first post. If you need specifics let me know. Each run I tried shifting at different points. I know most of my terrible time has to do with inexperience, but i dont think that I am that bad.
