Just looking at some of the data and mainly one of my better runs and I started comparing it against some of the timeslips found in the Drag area under Motorsport. I found one that was similar to one of my runs but the MPH are very different.

*from the drag thread under motorsport*

R33gtst

ET: 13.79

MPH: 91.6

60': 1.99

Ultimate fuel

Firestone firehawks 225's

paulr33

ET: 13.75

MPH: 105.51

60': 2.13

Optimax Fuel

Hankook Sport K104's 255

The MPH for each runs are very different. That says to me he had lots of traction and I didn't but the net result was we both ran very close times but my MPH was much higher. One interesting thing I saw for R33gtst's run was track temp, listed as 32deg and ambient temp 25. The ambient temp for our day was around 18deg and for my 13.7 run above the ambient temp was 16. See the compare sheets below.

Not trying to be a know it all just trying to learn and improve

Disappointing we just didnt get to show it     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
