[QUOTE="Lethalchem, post: 12863786, member: 8054"] I didn't get as much info as I'd have liked. I was only able to stay for 3 hours, and it was an almost 2 hr drive to get there so after the cool down I only got 6 runs in. I was bogging a lot at first, thinking 3200 would be fine on a poorly prepped track. My first run was launched at 3200, tire psi was stock. Very poor 60'. The other 5 runs I dropped the psi to 25 and started to up the rpm launch a little at a time. On the last 2 runs I started to get a little tire squeal instead of a bog and I began getting 2.0 60's. My last launch was at 3900 and was my best run. Looking back on it I think I was hitting 2nd gear too hard. I got the 2nd gear grind on my very first pass so I slowed the shift down a bit after that with better results. I still think I should have slowed the shift down even more because I think my low mph in the 1/8 was due to wheel spin when hitting 2nd. My buddy in the blue Shelby seen in the pictures said he was squeezing into second instead of slamming it and he ran really well. He was 7-8mph faster than me at the 1/8th mile mark. He has swapped a '13 blower onto his car, Lund Tune, TB, and JLT CAI and ran a 9.7 to my 9.9. He also managed a 1.8 60'. Here's my lousy first pass. Before anyone wastes time commenting on the RT I was not bothering with the tree at this TNT. I was more interested in seeing how the rev limiter was working and trying to figure out how to "let out the clutch fast but not fast" lol. You can see the car bog badly, then I get 2nd gear grind, then spin once I get it back into gear, and finally just granny into 3rd just to get the horror show over and done with. :lol: My first pass has always been an ugly ride anytime I've ever been to the track.
