Re: Ugh. Lots of new parts, and I go slower.
Well, I didn't get any time to play with the car today - school work is a drag.
For each of those runs, I put the car in 1 and let it shift for me. I never shift on my own at the track. With these cars, there isn't much point to it, as you want it to run to redline anyway.
Nice catch on the short shifting. I didn't notice it while I was making those runs, but that would explain some of the problem. I really don't think I was slipping though. Those ET Streets seemed to stick like glue. I warmed them up until I saw smoke in the rear view, so they shouldn't have been wet from the water box. I was running 18 lbs of tire pressure on the first run, and then dropped to 16 lbs for the second and third. When I looked at the tires after the runs it seemed like I was riding on the centers of the tires (the edges of the tread weren't worn - a friend at the track caught that and recommended I drop a couple more lbs.)
