Congrats on the improvement!
When Road & Track tested the Crossfire a few years ago, the data panel at the end of the article had a foot-note down at the bottom stating that the best times were obtained by launching at ~4,000 rpm... So I think you're right on the money with your findings.
I'd love to get mine to a drag strip simply for the numbers, even though I very rarely race in a straight line. The N/A really isn't geared for 1/4 mile racing (figuratively and literally) like it's big brother '6 is, but it's still fun to play and "get the numbers".
I'm taking mine down to Steele Alabama this fall for some runs, I'm curious to see what mine will do with the handful of mods I've got. If I hit 14.2x I'll be a happy camper.
