These were my best runs. On lower boost settings i was averaging 12.1 with really bad 60ft times. With more practice and some better tires i think i can reach my goal of 10.999 lol
I was in the right lane on these runs.

NOW you're talking! That MPH will drop you into the tens, BUT you need to get
serious. Bold on some drag radials, PLEASE. You can beat me, I know you can.

Your OEM torque converter will limit howhigh your engine will rev. Did you pull a brake fuse to allow it to rev? If not you won't see the gain. I'd try to leave as hard as possible until you GET wheelspin.
Put it in drive and let the computer shift. You might be surprised. I gave up trying to out-think mine, and went quickest.

GREAT consistency. (6) runs within 35 mins, and that late at night?! You were doing laps. A rare privilege.
Keep it up!
