Needless to say, my first pass was my best pass of the day, and everything else got worse from there. I definitely learned a valuable lesson today : Do suspension mods first before you tear into the motor.
I had a horrible case of wheel hop whenever I powershifted into second gear. A few times, I actually had to let out of 2nd gear, and hit it again just to stop the wheel hop. I thought I was going to end up breaking something if I didn't. My best pass was a 12.45 @ 114, cutting a 2.0 60ft. My highest trap of the day was 116, but I know the car is capable of trapping way higher than that. Overall I'm somewhat pleased, but I know I got some work to do. More seat time, some 18'' drag radials, and suspension mods, and I'm 100% positive I can cut atleast a 1.8-1.7 60ft, and get my ET down to around 11.50 or better. Here is my best time slip, the rest aren't even worth looking at :

You can definitely get a 1.8 60ft with some practice. Hell my best 60ft was 1.970 at c5 fest.
Trap is awesome to show what it can do, you will be in the mid 11s! And when I posted my slips from c5 fest, I got a bunch of good advice mostly on cooling down/operating temp and launching.
