Lets see what all we can come up with here. Anything that can help you at the track to lower your E.T. or improve your reaction, ect...
I'll start it off with one of the things i know...
ICE IS CHEAP HORSE POWER! lol, pick up a bag before cruisin to the track and throw it on your intake between runs. The colder the air charge, the better the run.

| how about ... NOT stalling on the line. I just felt that some people that read post on this site might benefit from stating the obvious. |

I always make sure that my fully extended up and window closed so you can concentrate on your car. Does anyone power shift? I still getting this techique down. I have practiced on the street but have only done it a couple of times on the strip. But those were also my best runs.

I used to do the power shift in my Camaro when I had it. Better times, but you can just feel a lot better power transfer. No lag. It is tricky, and I messed up a few times  lol

Drop the clutch on good slicks and hold on at 5500...
Wide open Throttle shifts is the way to go...
Hold it to the floor and shift around 5200 rpm...
These are my best times so far...
