Default 1/4 mile times from last Friday

From Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, GA. XR chip and 100 octane, about 55 degrees F. Track elevation ~1150 ft.

On the 2nd and 3rd run, the clutch was slipping on the launch. I'm launching at about 3000 RPM and feathering the clutch as I come off the line, just like the other 7 times I've been to the track. My previous best was 13.292@103.93 on Stage 2 with a 1.888 60' &amp; 50 degF ambient temp(XR). My 1/4 mile times have not improved with the addition of the Autospeed DP, but my trap speed has. Guess I have to work on my launch some more.

You have the right idea. Get that launch down and you're at least 13.1X.

Get the launch right and vary the shift points a little and you should be running 13.0...if not 12s.

Default I did short shift on the last 2 runs

On the last 2 runs I redlined first, but for 2nd and 3rd gear I was shifting at about 6200 and 6000 RPM respectively.

My launch issues this time was from a slipping clutch. I can get it to slip if I floor it in 3rd or 4th gear, so it's time to replace it. Since I will be going Stage 3, I'm going to go with a Spec clutch. I just need to decide if I want a stage 2 or 3. Seems like the folks who have Spec stage 2 are happy with theirs, as well as the people who have stage 3.
