1.65 nice! 5k launching? what were you shifting at? got that daylight under the tire too! lol
I'm headed to the track in the morning, will see if I can rig up the cam on the steering wheel to catch the shift rpms and drops.

thanks man. for that run I launched at 6k or just a bit higher, and shifting between 6200-6500 (I plan to install a shift light this winter so I'm more consistent).

I'll be interested to hear where you mount the camera to catch the tach. I tried a GoPro mount config that hung from the windshield and had the camera upside down in front of the tach, but it was a weird angle and I thought it would be hard to read. I may just try it around the neighborhood to see how bad it is.

have fun today, and good luck!

Bring your laptop along and do some data logs...that'll be an easy way to record where your shifting and where it's landing in the next gear. Worked well for me anyway, until I realized how early I was actually shifting most runs.

How exactly do you do that? What program do you need and what kind of cable?
I still have stock tune. Can I still do it?

Weird shit today gentlemen! So I was on my way to doing my bracket thing... for some reason my car is running 12.7's @ 102... no idea what's wrong but feels fine... so I ran 12.742, then 12.745... (because I'm fuckin nice:boobies:) so you figure my dial should be what 12.73 or so... yea buddy ready to bracket race like a beast!! so I line up. 2 step set to 4900 drop the clutch 1.699 60ft and 12.571 out of nowhere... LMAO I lost but I got a new best.. I can't figure out what happened but the air was definitely cooler on the last run... ehh!! e-towns electrics were bugging today 2nd slip was all weird but the 1/4 time was correct. (notice the fdj race mod RT for my first round versus when I don't care lol) I feel like I am trapping low... i should be in the 109's :/ I also tried to get the tach on cam but the camera flew out of my hand as soon as I launched. :roflmao:
