Looks to me that if you fix the 60' , the rest will actually be ahead of that first pass. Why was the 60' .5ths slower??? Mike

What does the car shift at on its own? I would just put it in regular drive and keep it there on the whole run. And launch softer so it hooks then add more to the launch boost to see where she gives up.

I couldnt build any boost @ the line. none @ all my breaks were going to the floor they wouldnt hold. I dont think I was taking enough time to let the vacuum build back up in my booster.

you think I would've went faster than tht previous 12.4

Im really not an authority on cars such as yours , but , in most race car type situations , whatever you lose in 60' times usally doubles by the 330' and continues to lose time as the run progresses!! The fact that you lost so much time in the 60' and actually started to hold the rest of the down track
incraments shows me that you were in fact making more power!! Hopefully
someone else with more experience with this type of ET will chime in here.
Your mods may be why you have no brakes (vacuum) but that can be overcome. Good luck!! Mike

If I'm reading your post right-- you gained 8 MPH. That equals to around 70-80 HP increase.
