There are 2 mats... the Factory and the Upgraded/Deluxe on top.

Actually kinda nice .

Now I know the car has alot more to offer.

Just get the driver to pull his head out.
Also as Jamie said make sure you use the whole pedal. My problem was even though I was pushing pedal all the way it was from bottom only using my toes.

I would also get at least the 555r's. As a comparison my first time out with the same mods (just stock pulley instead)with the radials I went 11.4 at 121. That was before I became stupid and forgot how to step on gas

At least. If you go with 18's or smaller maybe even more.

Have you dynod the car yet ?
I was in the mid 13s the first 7 passes i made with the first set up but then i firgured out i just had to put it in drive with traction control on and that made all the difference in the world!
Traction control is hard to figure out. In Indy last month I did my first burnout before staging woth my traction control ON. WTF is THAT all about?

Ran 12.06 with it on and 12.04, 12.04, 12.03 with it off.

Or use the tap shifters a few times.

I'd say more. Just getting a clean pass would be worth a good amount. No short shifting and so on. I don't know how your tuner can adjust anything without a clean pass

Tuff question. Like Jamie said, 18" wheels can make it a lot more. But it depends. How MUCH you're slipping.

With your power level and gearing you just need to get your 60 foot time under 2 seconds and you're where you need to be give our take a tenth or two.

My 12.0s were on street tires. And I'm NOT a great driver by any stretch.

Definately need to get a couple new logs with the throttle working properly.
Kinda sucks waiting for another Test/Tune day.
Haven't found anywhere safe to do the WOT runs needed except the track.

That's cool you logged your shift points, as Jamie already pointed out those are inconsistent and all too low (seeing your 110-112 traps made me think that).

Find out what is recommended (I believe in the tuning they are targeted by mph?), and fix 'em.

Really? i would always spin nasty with traction control off it would piss me off because i would always turn it off when i was stock and it was fine but once the supercharger went it i couldnt hook without the traction control on
