That's weird! How is it that you ran a 15.5 and a 13.97? That's a huge difference. Did you miss a gear?

yea...i miss second gear 2 times and i tried out a 3500 easy launch (ease out the clutch) and all i did was spin..the track was extremely cold and i dont have DR's so..yea..u get the idea..if i had better track conditions, i could have gotten 13.8's

good times for the mods. But if you want 13.8's or maybe even 13.7's keep your foot on the gas the whole way. Im actuly surprized you got into the 13's with that 60'. If you can work it down to the 2.0X rang that would alone put you in the 13.8 add power shifting and 13.7 or a hair faster could be your goal.

"dont lift when you shift" is my motto.

Wrong section also...

the 15.5 time i think was my test run of a 3000 rpm launch...if the track wansnt cold like it was i would have had a 13.8...everyone at the track was complaining about the track conditions

yup..i shift at around 5400 when going from 1st to 2nd and 5600-5700 when shifting from 2nd to 3rd cause i cant power shift comfortably into 3rd

when you powershift you never lift off the gas pedal. Thats how you pull the really fast times. When your combo is out of ET powershift it and you should drop more.
