Only Sunoco 110 leaded shit. I'll always have to mix my own.

Posting a run like that you have to expect about a billion questions.
Ill ask the first million =P

How were you staging? I'm betting pretty shallow?
Yes? I have no idea.
Quote:
Was it a pro tree (3 lights and a green) or a headsup tree (stage lights all go at once and then right to green)?
Pro Tree

Quote:
Shift points (rpms and throttle if you can)?
Launched at 1600rpm, shifted high 5k's, low 6k,s not entirely sure.

Quote:
How did the traction feel in 2nd and 3rd?
Chirped second, barely, 3rd was solid.

Quote:
Did you slip traction all the way to your first shift or did you regain full traction and run 1st gear out?
Slipped traction until 2nd
Quote:
Any feelings on how the diff was behaving at launch? Was it E-Diff-ing or mostly just acting like an open diff?
TIMYOYO mode didn't seem to have any influence. I did one run with DTC and it bogged.

Quote:
How do you know it was heatsoaking? Did you see it on the factory gauge?
It just just an educated guess, actually. I don't know for 100% sure but the OEM FMIC is TINY and I was rewarded with higher traps on the runs where I'd left the engine off and hood open for a longer amount of time.
Quote:
Also, since I don't recall from your other thread (and it'll be usefull for other people reading this thread): What wheels and tires were you running?
OEM Wheels with Bridgestone RE-01R's bought during the rediculous liquidation sale at tire rack.

Whew. Any other questions?

One thing I do know was I was pretty relaxed that run. After I pulled in that time, I began to anticipate things more and I'm pretty sure I wasn't controlling my launches anywhere near as well, reverting to the bad habits I developed my first track day.
