13.75@100mph, 2.21 60', 185/60 street tires
The car really gets to the top of 4th fast, and then falls on its face in 5th. There was a big headwind which IMO was keeping the trap speeds down.
I was also struggling with HORRIBLE wheelhop. It would come on during burnouts, even. I cut a 2.50, then a 2.30, then a 2.21 60ft. I can't give it ANY throttle or boost until the car is totally hooked up, which means I am bogging the **** out of it at the line. Someone suggested going back to stock suspension next time I head out there to get some squat going in the rear. If I go back to the stock suspension, throw the NT-01s on the rear, and get launch control hooked up, it should be able to get to the 60ft in 1.9-2.0 seconds, and run 13.3-13.4 at 103+ with no headwind.

I didn't catch the 6 speed, I was about to say something about that too. Did you get wheel hop with the NT-01s on? I have found that all of my wheel hop issues were directly related to what tires I was using, but I am running a different suspension setup. I do know that alot of other guys have wheel hop issues no matter what though. Have you played with the settings on the rear dampers?

Rear dampers set at pretty much full stiff (rebound adjustable only). I think the lack of travel in the rear, combined with the stiff springs (450s), is killing me. This was on 185/60 Falken ZE-912s at 20psi.

Might be true. Or I'm rolling down the track with another stripped 3rd gear.
I just found the timeslip:
60': 2.215
330': 5.838
1/8: 8.860@80.38mph
1000': 11.515
1/4: 13.759@100.32mph

with the 6 spd and 4.10 gears I'd start in 2nd too. 100 mph is pretty strong for high 13's.
I saw several cars on trailers heading up towards Atlanta Dragway on my way home from work (it's only 2 exits further north up 85 from the exit my house is at). Would be nice to run. But dammit I've got so much to do this weekend, and I need to get started on it tonight.

I tried launching mine in 2nd today just to see how it would work. At 4500rpm with my tiny little turbo it sit between 7-9psi on the line, then seemed to spin slightly then bog a little. Difference is I am running a 4:3 rear but also I would guess alot less power since I have only had mine going less than a week, still tuning and only running ~10psi through a 1.6L
I think with a little more work on the launch and when I get the ebc hooked up then it should be quite acceptable to launch in 2nd.
