Here are my two best time slips for the day. Let me know what you guys think. I was really hoping to be able to get a better time than i did.
R/T .693
60' 2.265
330 6.476
1/8 9.906
MPH 72.19
1000 12.843
1/4 15.334
MPH 91.07
R/T .691
60' 2.300
330 6.523
1/8 9.945
MPH --.--
1000 12.870
1/4 15.354
MPH 89.82
R/T .689
60' 2.249
330 6.511
1/8 9.989
MPH 284.00
1000 12.954
1/4 15.441
MPH 91.31
I had the best 60' time on the last slip but that was my slowest run, i hit the gears good in all my races so any advice or info would be appreciated.

not bad for starters. Try dropping the tire pressure (between 15 and 20 psi), revving a little higher, and slipping the clutch on the launch. That should help get the 60' times, and by default, the ET's will go down. Your traps are pretty impressive, though. Practice practice practice

i had the tire pressure down to about 28 psi in the front do you think i should try going even lower? thanks for the props

As stated practice does make prefect, but your times are pretty good.

go lower, since you're making basically stock power, 20 psi with a 4000rpm launch should be good. 15 psi might be too low but theres no harm in trying it out. You're times are very good, especially first time out, but they can be lower. I just assume you want to be as good as possible which is why i offer what advice I can. My weekly track companion is LambofGoddess, #3 on the top 5 N/A ecotec list, so i'm only telling you what I have seen work on her car. And she traps a little lower than you (stock exh. mani and tb), and runs a 15.08, so you may well be capable of high 14's if you nail the launches.

^^^thats me.
i see your car is an LS. so you probably have a good extra amount of weight. make sure your spare/jack is out, and try taking out anything else extra. seats if your willing. i weighed my car, (it's a 1sv) and its a whopping 2490, a lot of ls's i know weigh around 2700, so that may be whats keeping you from getting a little lower...
just a little extra info, i weighed all the seats and crap i took out this past week at the track...the front passenger seat, back bench, and rear folding seats weigh at about 55 lbs altogether (not as much as i was hoping). and the jack/spare/cover weighs about 35 pounds. with all that out, it COULD help a little bit.
my 60's are 2.1s so your launch could maybe use a little tweaking, like jay said i launch anywhere between 3800-4000 usually. with the tires aired down to about 20 psi. it works wonders for me, so i'm sure you could do the same. also make sure you wind the gears out as far as you can. 6400 is PERFECT. i've tried so many different points, and as close to redline as possible is the best.
also don't be suprised when you run faster(i'm confident
), you mph will go down. when my best was 15.23 i was trapping at 90 all the time, but (this is what i've heard) the better 60's cause the trap to go down.
hope this helps. good luck.

reaction time has nothing to do with your actual 1/4 mile time.

if you lower your PSI in your tires too much, it can actually hurt your times
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
that's true because then you gotta drag em down the rest of the track. but i ran a 15.089 with 20 psi in my tires. and i have nothing but an intake and catback exhaust. so i'm gonna go ahead and guess that it's not hurting.
