hehe ya sounded like granny shifting on the 1st run man.

What's the 60ft? dood not bad for a T3T04B man.

oops jus saw the end of the vid. ya your 60s arent bad. You just need a little bit more power to get into the 10s.

I think you got a .10th in faster shifting alone, 129mph should get you into the 10's..... how much does the car weight?

Yeh man good runs but from what I see and hear in the vid you need to shift a tad quicker. If you add the time lost between the slow shifts I gurantee you will see 10s. At least a 10.99. The trap is dead on. Keep at it.

yeah man i agree with ben.

520whp with a t3t67ho and a 2600lb car with me in it, got me a 10.96 @129 with a best of 10.72 @131

shift that car faster, and make sure you are shifting high enough to not fall out of boost on the gear canges.

I couldn't believe the temp at the track was 37degrees yesterday and it was 60'ing better than ever (all where 1.650-1.68), but it was first time using third gear burnouts also.

You shouldn't have any problem getting into the tens with a good launch

i was stuck at 11.0 and 133-135 mph all season so i feel your pain, it took fresh slicks and a extra pound or so of boost to get me a 10.7 at 138. my car is also pretty heavy so i know what your up against.

Hey Ben no doubt you'll get into the 10s but just drive like it ain't your car. Power shift baby....all the way down track. Hahaha. Hope to see you guys next year.

Just from personal experience that 1-2 shift can really pick your times up. On my car the first day I had it back at the track on the new setup with a little more power, my car wanted to bog when I hit 2nd gear no matter how I shifted. I messed with my boost levels a little and got it to hit 2nd pretty hard and it picked up over a 1/10th on my ET and I gained like 2mph.....then the rain came and I have not been back.

Personally, I think if you could hit 2nd harder and get your 330' down just a hair it would possibly be that 10 sec pass.............

reading this made me realized that I should be in the 10's also, keep missing/searching for 3rd. and trapping sometimes 200kph, on bad launches. hopefully next season I will be in the 10's germany tracks High altitude, full interior with 230lbs driver.
