1/8th mile times

I ran in the 1/8 tonight...I ran 7 times all were under 8.2 @ over 87 and I ran twice at 8.00 @ 89 with a 1.8 60ft. What times are you all getting in the 1.8th, and what are you 60ft times?

what were the conditions, b/c I don't see how with the same 60' you can be 1.5 tenths faster...what was your 330'?

330' was 5.141. Conditions were ideal with a temp around 55 degrees, barometer low 30's and 40% humidity. The calculated DA was around -1000ft. At another track my best 1/8mile time was 8.000@89.59....that 330' was 5.274...however my 60' was only 1.93 for that pass.

what mode were you all in? I was in sport mode, and later realized that the shift points are higher in manual mode.

I was in sport mode. I will try manual mode but sometimes I experience a momentary hesitation when shifting from 1 to 2. I think the ecu interrupts the engine for a split second due to the max rev limit being achieved before it shirts to second.
