Are you running street tires? if so, you might not want to be in the bleech box as long as you were, a quick chirp to clear the pebbles would be prime.

Also did you load the TQ at all during the run? I couldn't tell, you edited the staging.

And Air pressure. Got any idea what you ran for pressure?

Just try'n to help ya out.

And great video, I enjoyed it.

my 60 ft was 1.975 - I have Nittos and I didn't really burn them at all. I also have been so afraid to spin I've been really babying it off the line. Next time my first run I'm going to do like a 5 sec burnout and then mash the pedal and see if I hook.

Also my shift points were all screwed up AND it was 88 degrees 75% humidity that day.

All those excuses add up to 12.5 next time or else.

re: stall - I am planning on getting a verter in a few months - probably only a 3200 'cause it's my daily driver (I know, I know, go bigger). I feel like I should be hitting mid 12's now though, so I want to get a few more trips to the track and master the car as it is....

thanks for the compliments on the movie - he is going to be pissed LOL

trust me, once you get a stall you will be pissed you didnt get one as your 1st mod. Just get some nittos drags and you will be set.
