Well, I've got my final setup now so from here on its just fine tuning some things. The 60ft has always been holding me back and last night I took the tire pressure down to 13psi and did a second gear burnout on that run. Oh and I should mention that I don't have a roll bar which seriously hinders my ability to get seat time as I always get kicked after the second sub 11.5 pass. I only got to make two passes last night. The first one I missed second so it was easy to let off and roll through the traps. And you see the second pass. I got kicked immediately but I was so happy that I cut a cartwheel in the staging lanes!! So to get faster I need roll bar + better 60 ft + refined gear shiftin!

It's the black widow cam.. I know they have gone through some revisions but mine was installed last April(2011).

just hit the breaks at the 1000ft mark to avoid getting booted. then once you see improvements in the 1/8th mile then make your full passes

Congrats on the stellar run. You picked up 32 mph on the back half which is excellent. The sixty foot will come when you get more seat time practicing all of the right techniques. 13 psi sounds a little low for that tire. Depending on the tire size and rim, you may start to get cupping at that low of pressure on a radial.
Good luck and keep us posted.

It is much safer to run it to half track and slow it down by tapping the brakes than hitting them hard at the 1000'. Been there, done that and still was asked to sit out for the rest of the night which I obliged. I agree that the 1/8 mile will tell you most of the story. The final ET can be calculated to within a 0.01 or 0.02.

I went 10.41 a couple weeks ago. My MPH was exactly 134.77. I'd say with a better 60ft, and speeding up your shifting, that car has a LOT left in it.

That too at the 1/8, but i didnt mean to ride the brakes hard but rather to just let off the gas and slowly begin to decelerate.
