While you're at it, post your slips and mods with any additional tips for launching the 7AT. If you ran completely stock, those times would be appreciated too.

My best bone stock run on street tires (Michelin A/S3 285/30/20) was 13.3.

A few weeks ago I went to the track with drag radials and it dropped 1/10 second. I think our cars are too weak stock to utilize the radials at its potential.

I brake torque to around 2k on street tires (didn't pull fuse) and 2.5k on radials (pulled fuse)

For me still on the stock tires track prep is what makes the most difference in my times. On the worst windy fall day with trees next to the staging lanes dropping leaves all over I got a 14.8@107 spinning the tires through 1st and 2nd gears. On a nice summer day on a big bracket racing weekend where 90% of the cars were on slicks and I only got a few runs in between rounds. I got 13.0@109 just because the track was so sticky that my tires didn't spin.
