With just the injector upgrade,105 octane and a good tune I ran a 13.25@102.5mph at the import event yesterday,while it is just a bit over a tenth of my previous best,I am now doing no worse than a 13.4 when I don't miss a shift like I did during a couple runs yesterday. I also set a new trap speed with an 103mph run on Friday.
I can't wait to get my front mount installed and try 20psi.

Congrats, I also have run a 13.2 at Bandi, mine was at 104 mph, so this means I should launch harder or shift better. What's your 60' and what brand tires do you use?

My 60's are pretty consistent 1.80s-1.85s and I'm running Kumho Ecstas which I have the tire pressure bumped up to 42psi in the rear and 40 in the fronts. I like a little wheelspin to help reduce driveline shock.

Same 60's as me. Do you powershift?
Apparently I granny shift. =/
I need DSMLink v2 with no lift to shift built in. Powershifting with a lightened flywheel and stock internals scares me =)

I fully depress the clutch but I'd like to think I am very quick on the shift plus my tranny shifts really nice and I rarely misshift,the 2nd to 3rd transition is really precise thanks to the guys at ACS Mitsu Pros.
I'm going well into my 3rd season on this 2600 and it still is gripping great. (knock on wood)

Do you let off the gas though?
My tranny is really rough...very hard to put into gear. Though I did get to experience the clam chowder that is the tranny fluid and with maybe .8 new tranny fluid in there and the shifter cables tightened, it definitely feels a little better. I need to completely drain it and refill it.

Yes,powershifting is a good way to hurt stuff.
