No disrespect but I disagree. The 1-2 shift is crucial for that 300ft time, obviously as is the launch.
Lots of high hp cars launch like a ****, then shift slow to 2nd causing momentum loss and drop out of powerband. That alone makes a huge difference. On his run he didnt lose any momentum on the first two IMO crucial shifts.
Comparing your 2 runs on video he out drives you on that 1-2 shift-just watch your cars and listen to the shift, again no disrespect just disagreeing with you.
edit-Hal/IP what is taking so long to post a slip breakdown or just a slip? I wanna break it down compared to SP's run
edit 2-Hal/Ip can you please share the size of your front tire? Im trying to run skinnies on the track model 17" spare, but can only find 2.5-4" wide not sure if the 4" wide will work...any input is much appreciated.

What? Hal vs. Chris from SP in a 6spd 1/4 mile straight up shoot out??? Just kidding but that would be a hell of a show.
It's kind of hard to believe some people on here are doubting SP's knowledge of drag racing and what matters and doesn't. They've never downed anyone for achieving great things in the tuning community so why start busting their ***** now? No doubt Hal has his launch down, now lets see a time slip please. Mad respect for the sick fast run.

that kit is an entire front end swap. new brace, new radiator, new everything. outside a 1 off shop car, its not practical for someone who has to actually pay for the labor to build.

Well if everything is ligit, Hal should be able to knock out another awesome run or at least somewhere in the ball park. I've seen his 9.8 sec run which lets us all know he was hunting for the 6spd record. For me, I just want to break down where and how fast his car is on the track. Give us all something to shoot for with launch, traction, and shifting.

Either way, both shops are fast as f*k... Props to both!
