Stock suspension, street tires, no cats, h pipe, Flowmaster exhaust, K&N CAI, Superchip. ( BAMA tunes to be installed after I remove chip)B&M short shift kit.  Factory rear 3.23 5 speed.2nd time at 1/4 mile track.  First time my wife drove 4/5 runs.  This time I was there alone and got 7 runs in, in 1.5 hours.  It was 75 not humid.  Altitude about 500'First run I launched around 3k and got no traction for first 1-200'. Almost got sideways.Then I gradually slowed down my launch rpm 2500-2000 till another driver said I'd be better off at 1500.  He was mostly right, but still having traction problems until I was able to change from Right lane to the left.  Then I was able to drop from mid 15's down to 14.4x. I'd like to break into high 13's without hurting the cat.  This more experienced driver suggested instead of holding onto 3rd gear at 7K through the traps to shift to 4th around 6K.  My highest mph was like 98.8My reaction times suck.  I've had 4 spine surgeries so I may always have sucky RT's. But I feel I shift quick.  My wife's RT's are very good like .15So hopefully here are my worst and best times.  I'm # 879. See what suggestions you can give me.  I'm in this for fun.  Not ready to change the rear or buy drag radials.  I am buying new suspension this Sunday at AM show I hope.  Going to lower and stiffen the ride.  Thanks, Spiney-Dave<img src="http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/08/e4eze9y7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
