First and second time running the 6 speed.

The first time I ran the temperature was around 90 and humid. I was stock and didn't fool with the tire pressure, nor did I know how to launch. My first run I launched too agressive and ran a 17 something burning the tires through second gear.:o I only got one more run so I did a very conservative launch and ran a depressing 15.1@94 with a 2.6 60 ft. A few weeks later with better driving skill, lower tire pressure, and an intake I managed:

60ft. 2.283
330 6.252
1/8 9.464
MPH 76.40
1000 12.206
1/4 14.530
MPH 96.67

I happy considering the high temperature and humidity, as well as the stock tires. I launched at 1500 r.p.m. and the front tires were around 25 p.s.i. Next time I'm confident I can achieve this or slightly better.

I'm hoping for some better 60's my next time also. Did lowering the tires seem to help at all with the wheelhop?

Good times btw
