JB1 and Logic HVI (Intake). With 102mph and 14.2, your launches were probably not great. And also remember guys, I am AT, so launches for me come a little easier. I did find that I need to manually shift before redline to get the best times. Running the car to redline gave me the 14.2, where when I shifted at 5500-6000 RPM gave me the 13.9. The ET mph # is more representative of your HP, where the 1/4mile time represents more your launch.

Your 60' times are the real indicator of your launch, the really good launches should be getting ~1.8s or below, where I was getting ~2.2s. Still have some work to do on the launch, but all in all I think it went pretty well for my first time out.
