Made my first pass today
So I ran my car for the first time today 
Made 4 runs total with my quickest run looking like this.
R/T====1.306
60'====2.276
330'===5.868
1/8====8.861
MPH===83.54
1000'==11.395
1/4====13.541
MPH===105.68
Keep in mind that this was at an altitude of 5800ft. So what do you guys think? I was pretty happy for only having the PFC and DP. When a stock FD runs ~14.2 at this altitude. My launch needs some work though!! Best 60' for the day was a 2.15? What kinda 60' timi am i looking at with a good launch? Any pointers?

Yellow Dragon is no more
Not bad times at all ... work on the 60 ft a little bit ... whatever you do, take some caffine or something because you are asleep when the light turns green!

I've been trying to launch at ~3500 and slip the clutch a bit. But in my runs i dumped it a little too hard cause I spin through 1st pretty bad.

Hey Dr. - I am interested in your question also. I'm thinking about taking my stock '94 to the track this Thursday and was wondering what is the best rpm's to hold at start.
Any other advice out there for a rook just trying not to blow up his favorite car-
