Got a 13.1 @ 109.5 with a 2.1 60' today @ Adelaide International Raceway
Full street trim on 13psi boost, 36psi in the rears, 3000rpm launch, spare wheel in the back & 3/4 of a tank of gas.
So I'm confident I can crack a high 12 :)

keep us informed, 1.4 tank of petrol no spare and 22psi in the rear tyres should do it for u easy

Kabab,
I drop the clutch. Why only 3000?, well as today was my 2nd ever go @ drags on a strip I wasn't sure on how much I could drop it at (on the street any more than 2500-2700 & I go slower).
I really wanted to see how I'd go running it as do on the road any day of the week, hence the spare wheel/fuel load & 36psi.
I should've dropped the rear pressures, wound up the boost, & gave it 5000rpm of the line, but there's always next time :)

I usually luanch at 3500-4000rpm and slip the clutch and the thing flies :) But you have much more power then me so it will probably kill your clutch more.

nice time dude, that is hauling butt!
You've certainly got the potential for sub 13's...

Kabab,
If I slip the clutch I fry it (still running a basic clutch set-up), I can probably get my 60' down to 1.9 (give or take) with a bit more practice/playing.
Bren,
Thanks mate :D

I have trouble launching my r33gtst always seem to get too much wheelspin... could be my tyres but i neva seem to get off the line quick enough :(
any suggestions on how to launch? I have the usual mods airfilter exaust and 10psi boost.

Bugalugs,
Thanks mate.
If I'd been thinking I would've posted a few days b4 the last run, but it was a spur of the moment thing, "Hmmm, hey the drags are on today I might go down & see how I go" :D
wil25t,
I'm still learning myself mate, it's just a matter of practice, try launching from low revs (~2000rpm) & work your way up till you only get a tiny bit of w/spin without bogging down. I find dumping the clutch works best for me.
Old hard rear tyres will make it really tricky to get away without excessive w/spin:(
