Good mph, how much boost is that supposed to be? How about shift points? I went 10.59 @ 132 on 8psi but I have a centri

What gearing and wheels do you have? I think I am at 11-12lbs of boost. I am running 20" factory wheels with Nitto 555R 275/40/20, a 315 gear, no converter, and straight 93 octane.

Shifting probably 76-7700 (rookie racer, nervous and not watching things too close). I have to work with tuner though. I definitely tapped rev limit right at shifts. I know I can get to a 1.6 flat 60 as I hit a 1.67 earlier and am really new to racing. I expect 10.5s for sure after tuning corrected. Stinks that I forgot my laptop. Logs would have helped....

Atco. Nobody said anything to me at all.

Just out of curiosity, and not that I even tried it on this visit, but what is a perfect reaction time? I thought it was .500. Just was in a discussion with someone, and he is swearing it is 0.00.

.500 is perfect on a sportsman tree. .000 is perfect on a pro tree

First time I took it to the track I broke the driveshaft lol. I am going again soon.

Where did your driveshaft break? Did it cause any other damage? I am on the fence on a new driveshaft and I wasn't aware of any failures until hearing about yours.

I'm running 3.15 Gears and 305/45R17 ET Street R, I have a lot of testing to do I'm pretty confident it will go 1.48-1.52. I had the shocks set way too soft and tire pressure to low so there was a lot of wasted energy right off the line. Now I do have a torque converter but a whipple or any PD/Screw blower should 60' just as good if not better than a centri with a converter.

Holy crap 7700 is pretty high for stock Oil pump gears, my 10.50 pass was 7050 shift points which have now been bumped to 7400. Do you know where you are supposed to be shifting?

I will confirm that hopefully today. This is all pretty new to me so there was definitely a lot of nerves going on. I actually launched at like 15-1800 rpm loaded up. I think a torque converter would be a huge difference in my 60 though. I could not leave much higher than 1800, and really had no spin. Next time I'm gonna try to not load up as others have suggested, and hit it. Just not sure that 275/40/20 nitro 555r will withstand that. And my shifts definitely tapped rev limit which I know slowed me down. I will try to post a video of my run. You can see it bod between shifts. 1st to second being the worst. Really mad at myself from not logging....

Were you padle shifting or leaving it in D?

Left it in D (tuner has all my shifts set). I thought it was a flike one time that I went around someone, it downshifted, and tapped rev limiter. Seemed like the 1st to 2nd was the biggest delay at the track. You kind of hear a pop. I have to figure out how to get a video on here.

Good was just curious
