I didn't need to log, I know it doesnt' build any boost off the line... its lazy as **** for the first half. But the track wasn't holding more power when I tried to ramp it in earlier...could be my tires need to be replaced, never know. When I ran my best I was at full power from the hit all the way down... lol no ramp. That was a 9.5 at 153, but I did not have boost in 3rd gear, as I had blown a coupling off during the pass.
The converter is so tight I can't get any boost even on the trans brake... but its never been setup to 1/4 mile race, its for hwy bombing, and it works great on the top end. I might throw some nitrous on it to try to get the thing up on the converter more at the line, should help tremendously.
my best yesterday was a 10.0 @ 154. I don't remember the exact incrementals but 1.8 60 ft, 6.9 @ 110 1/8th.

Yup footbrake only 
Leave the track work to me
Highway/ TI is yours but I'll provide back up if needed!
I had a similar problem tho at HRP, if I launch the car too low in the rpms it's very lazy off the line and begins to spin when I get into boost. I talked to to a few people and came to the conclusion the suspension wasn't setting and it allowed the car to spin lol. So actually leaving on more power and planting the tires will help.
But I agree you need to have these new 275x mickeys on.
