I do disagree that losing a few miles an hour at the very end of the quarter mile would make "a LOT" of difference though comparing our two time slips at the 1/8 and 1000. If it would have been 3mph at the 1/8 or even earlier, I would agree with you more.

With the cat-back setup, I hit 7.80 at 88.7, so I had half a mph more, but was 5/100th slower. This is due to my being on the stock clutch and achieving that 7.80 on a 1.75 60', as opposed to your 1.68. Since I was even faster at the 1/8th, one would venture to guess that I would at least match your mph in the 1/4 if I could rev that far. Of course, that is if my tuning at the top of 4th is sufficient, but in that 7.80 run, my timing was advancing beautifully and peaking at 22 by 7500, so I think that aspect would have been fine.
With the TBE, I did get down to a 7.74 and 7.75 with 1.70 and 1.75 60's respectively, but still at 88.7-88.8. The funny thing is that on the only run with race gas on a cold night (60 degrees) earlier in the summer, I somehow hit 89.52mph in the 1/8th, but it was on a clutch-burning 1.79 60', so my 1/8th was only 7.90, and the 1/4 was only 12.34. At the time, I was extremely happy with a 12.34 at 110.7 on the cat-back, but that was before I went out and hit 12.22 the next day in 80 degree weather. Too bad I didn't get 4-5 tries in that cool weather, but this past Friday was supposed to be almost as cool. Well, it was cool by 9pm, but I seriously can no longer shift full speed with the ACT while on the drag strip...

Sorry to hear it is that bad. I switched from the ACT in my Eclipse to a Clutch Masters and dropped .1 on my best 60' with nothing else changed. My friend put the ACT in his car during that time as his RPS went out. He later bought my Clutch Masters when I got the EVO. He also dropped .08 seconds between his best 60's with the Clutch Masters. I could not no lift shift with my ACT either without grinding. Put in the Clutch Masters and no grind. The Exede grabs like my Clutch Masters did and shifts are even better. Exede + MR 6spd = butter

Go to your inbox and read the PM I sent, you nut. If the Exedy + 6spd is butter, then I guess that's my only course of action...

Generally, when you run a better ET with a LOWER mph (2-3mph even), that is considered better, but I don't think Trevor nor myself are really concerned with those details.
Great launch, driving, and use of the $5 chip! It's sure as hell working. I guess I really need that Exedy, huh?

As for the newly-coined "homofagatron," my wife is hoping that's not true so that we can have a kid or two...
