I am interest to see what your mph turns into. I'm no expert and am not putting you down but I think a 28'' tire is to small and going to effect the top end. I hope im wrong

I'm sure it will hurt the top end some but I think it will be worth the few tenths I will probably gain on the 60 foot.

Dumb question.. but should you be leaving that thing sitting around on the slicks? I don't see that working well for them

I think your 2nd to 3rd shift is wasting time on ya too. It's so short out of the gate before you have to shift. Iirc, the guy that had the fastest time before you was doing 3rd gear launches

Yeah he did a line lock and boosted launch by slipping the clutch. And he had twins. I have some secret squirrel stuff going on with a new clutch. Not gonna say much more til it's final.

I don't think the clutch is gonna change my approach. I think I'll have to do a different turbo setup to go up a gear in the launch but maybe not. We will all find out though lol

Lol no I have never even tried a boosted clutch slip launch. And I probably won't ever. Need a heavy clutch to take that abuse, then you cant shift them. Im sticking to what I know.
