What kind of DR's do you have? As for shifting I had luck 1st at 6,000, 2nd and 3rd at 5700 landed me a 12.10 @ 114 with a 1.83 60ft with bolt ons with nittos and the 10bolt launching at 3,000 rpm. But if you have a 12bolt and say a MT Drag Radial I would launch at 5,000+ and let her rip and cut some 1.6 60fts and watch your times drop a lot, to like low low 12s

On my old setup, I was leaving @ 5500 with a McLeod single disc and cutting 1.6s. Mine has 4.33s, shifting at 6500, and finishing in the top of 4th. 11.80
