Stock IX GSR, first time @ track, advice?
Basics on the car and condition of the track: It was hot(high 80's) and humid. My IX was Bone Stock on the first run(stock rom), and the following 3 runs were just tuned a bit by me(ECU Flash and Mitsulogger), but otherwise 100% mechanically stock. I had a full tank of gas, ~20lbs worth of books and a laptop, and I weigh 250lbs. 17.8k miles are on the car and I am running Goodyear Eagle F1 all-seasons. The clutch has never slipped yet, but it is certainly not bitting as hard as it should initially which I attribute mostly to the clutch restrictor pill. Also, I am showing zero counts of knock, and am only pulling 11degrees timing between 6200 and 7000, which I prob should advance another one or two. Still a bit of room to get more aggressive, but without a wideband, I dont want to push it. This is also my first time ever going to a race track, so I was a bit nervous with the tree and all.

Not too bad. I busted off a 13.3 @ 103.5 bone stock with nothing changed in the ECU or anything. If this is your first time, get some practice lauching it and shift around 6500...you should pick up some speed and your ET's should be a little better. Good luck next time out.

I actually got in line for a 5th run, but it was going to take a long *** time to get up there because the line wasn't moving, so I just went home. After the 4th run, I was going to increase the launch control from 5000rpms to 5400rpms and release the clutch almost immediately. Figured that should drop the 60' to a 1.8 or 1.7 and net me the ET I wanted.

I'm sure someone has noticed this but not said anything, but this has to be a sliiiight factor. You ran your car with a full tank of gas and a bunch of extra weight. Now I understand you can't always leave everything at home, but go to the track with as little as possible. And it may not seem like a big deal, but a gallon of gas weighs 6lbs, we have 14 gallon tanks, i ran last night with JUST over 3/8 of a tank, so I saved myself almost 50lbs of weight in my car, which isn't a hell of a lot, but when your running stock I'm sure it counts.
My only other thought is those F1's, I had F1's on my last car and I HATED them for EVERYTHING. At first I thought they were amazing, but that feeling didn't last. My advans held up just fine to going out the gate at the full 5000rpm and my almost practically side stepping the clutch.
My first run i got 13.4 @ 108.5, second run was 13.17 @ 105 because I let off the gas to soon at the end of the track, my mess up there, not the car. You can pull it to bro, just stay in the hunt.
