Well last night was my first time at the drags with my 91 GSX, see my profile for mods. I had a heck of a time launching and didn't get it down. My first run was the best and had the best launch but I let up on the throttle halfway down the track cause I didn't know where the end was (it was night and my first time) The other 3 I bogged the engine big time. I tried launching at around 4500rpm every time but I think I was letting the clutch out way too fast and then not going full throttle when I release the clutch. LOL. It was soooo much fun though. I won everyone I raced with these times!!

Looking at these what time you think I can get with a perfect launch and shifts???

1st run (ok launch, let up throttle halfway thinking I passed finish line)

1/8 8.506
MPH 79.85
1000 11.148
1/4 13.517
MPH 96.04

2nd run (bogged launch, missed 2nd)
R/T .919
60' 2.366
330 6.862
1/8 10.207

1000 12.951
1/4 15.253
MPH 98.74

Yikes I just looked at your mods list and you deffinitly have some problems, you should be trapping 110 if not more. I went 112 with a to4e 50 trim and a serious boost leak.
 
I know I could always up the boost to 24, but its the original engine with a milled head (last guy who owned it had a timing belt break). I am going to practice my launching before I mess with boost. Thanks for the input guys
