track day at island dragway

I just wanted to make a couple runs to try this car in manual mode. Its tricky getting the shifts just right. sport mode if i get any tire spin which i always do then it really hangs up on the 1-2 shift bad. Manual mode i dont even floor it i just roll into try and make the shift. i didnt bother using the skinnies today no ice in the cooler. 11.5 with not even 60 footing the car. My last run was a high 1.6 sixty foot but it came up so quick i was late on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift and slowed to a 11.7.

This place is a joke.
So at this point would you agree that the high stall converter didn't improve your ET or MPH?

if you compare dead hook without to spin or ease into and have shift hang ups, yes it improved because all that being said it still should a gain even though small. street wise its a thumbs up you just need to be carefull. if everything would work the way it should well then based on the mph etc and 60ft now to where it should go well then it will be a huge improvement.
