first time i went to the track stock i ran a 14.5, 14.3, 14.0......my best time of the day after about 7-8 runs was a 13.88...

dont feel too bad, i couldnt figure out my launch the first 4-5 runs. id be sittin at the line screechin makin all types of noise while quiet little subarus were skipping away effortlessly....

i started launching at around 2800-3300 range, usually 3100,3200,3300 and not coming off the gas when shifting....thats when i was hitting 13.8 ish consistently.

Nope, it wasn't the same day though. The night I ran the 13.8 with the 2.1 I kept running 13s with 102 traps with 2.1-2.2 60's and I only had a Pop Charger Must have been a perfect night or something.

The night I pulled a 1.9, I had a CEL for a bad O2 sensor and every time I went to the track I was having the hardest time trapping 100mph... That 13.8 I had a 100mph trap

I haven't gone to the track in a very long time though, I recently dyno'd 249whp after the O2 sensors being replaced. Next time I make it to the track I should be full bolt-ons though.

Newb Q... You say you weren't letting off the gas when shifting... is that pretty hard on the clutch or is that the "normal" way to drag?

I dont agree with that statement. I ran 13.80 on my first pass ever and a weak sauce 2.17 60ft. Followed it with a 13.77 and 13.86, who says manuals arent consistent?
i think you know what i meant alberto... there are great drivers who are very consistent who drag race all the time and know how to driver thier cars very well, you being one of them. but on average, an automatic will be much more consistent and lay down better times cause of driver error.
