I finnally figured it out and did a 1.955, 60 ft time and i hit the limiter in 1st and 2nd gear. It ran a 13.09. What a waste of a good 60 ft time.
The 7 AT need's a 3200 rpm stall! torque converter. not one that spins the tires a 1800 rpm and the ECU kills the motor. ( I ordered mine today.)
The air temp was great tonight but I had some missed shift's tonight with the paddle shifters. it would have gone easy 12.74 tonight, May be next time.
There was a GTR at the track with a phase 2 Cobb tune in it 11.47 or an 11.27 @ 128 . No helmet on the driver . They kicked him out and sent him home. He made 3 passes before they got him.
thats funny you say that about the GTR , same thing at englishtown... a guy ran 11.2 and than he had to slam on his breaks afterwards.. they didnt pick up on it, but he was stoked about the 11.2 so he didnt care... he had tune and filters. he did an 11.8 stock he said...

On my 13.07 I bounced off redline in third... I go through the damn 1/4 while being in 4th for like 1 second, its not very ideal ...

Believe it or not my best launch was launching from 2k and just feathering it hard... I dumped and bogged, dumped and spun, than settled to do what I do on street tires and it worked.. I left there bummed though but 13.0 isnt awful just not what I wanted... same as Z ...

Also, what would removing the strut bar do ?

Another odd piece of info is my best time was ran on my open diff before I swapped for the VLSD where I was pulling 2.0 or better the whole day.. today I got a 2.05 on my best run and a 2.3 and 2.2 ... terrible on ET streets.. they are going for sale tomorrrow and grabbing more streetable drag radials...

Prob wont go back until I do the flywheel and gears or LTH .. same outcome too much lately
