Went to the track today..didn't get to run much. Only 3 times..Now this may be a long post but I need all the help I can get.My 1st run was pretty good because I beat anything I've run before but they still sucked..so here goes.
#1- 60 degrees outside, 20 psi in 26x10.5 in ET Streets, launching at 2500rpm and shifting at 6400 rpm into 2nd and third. Small burnout.
R/T... .866
60'.... 1.938
330.... 5.819
1/8.... 9.043
MPH.... 77.85
1000... 11.734
1/4.... 14.016
MPH.... 96.57
Now I met a guy there that was runnin a 98 cobra with the EXACT same mods and here is what he told me to do.." Drop the tire pressure to 11psi, Launch at 5000 rpm, and shift from 1st to 2nd at 5800rpm, and from 2nd to 3rd at 5400 rpm. Now I watched this dude run and rode with him one time and he was running consistant 13.27's/13.29's @ 101+ mph so I tried what he was doin..Well things got worse..
#2 63 degrees, 11psi, Launching at 3500 rpm, shifting at 6000 and 5500 rpm, good burnout and grinding 2nd gear!!
R/T.. 1.070
60'.. 1.996
330.. 5.948
1/8.. 9.178
MPH.. 77.05
1000 11.911
1/4.. 14.233
MPH.. 95.34
Spun bad off the line..
#3 58 degrees, 11 psi, Launching at 5000 rpm, shifting at 5800 and 5600 rpm, good burnout.

Any Ideas....obviously I'm still in the practice stage but everyone I talk to at the track tells me to do something totally different..I am just looking for a good starting point. Thanks and sorry for being so long!!
