Why in the world are you short shifting at 6500RPM in first and second? Rev that baby out to 7000RPM in each gear. By short shifting, you are not using all of your available horsepower. You absolutely could be losing 3mph+ by short shifting it.My shifting was spot on, shifting at 6500 1st-2nd and 6800 2nd-3rd and 3rd-4th. I'm not new to drag racing. My only problem was launch because of 3:73s and stock tires. Had to baby it off the line. However, I was getting a little wheel spin in 1-2 shift. To me, even with bad weather conditions, still doesn't add up to a loss of 5-6 mph.
I'd also say to let someone else give your car a rip down the 1/4 mile. My friend thought he was a great driver. I jumped in his car and picked up 3mph and knocked off almost 0.4 seconds in the 1/4 mile.
