The launch and possibly shifting seem to be hurting your times. I have a gotten a best of 2.2760ft with my Probe so I'm sure your car can do just as good if not better since you run at the same track I do. For comparison here are some of my runs with my Probe:

60ft 2.338 2.345 2.369 2.331
1/8th 10.319 10.354 10.455 10.354
1/4 ET 16.184 16.217 16.370 16.232
MPH 83.569 85.304 83.891 83.163

Practice..thats all there is to it. Do you powershift or at least speed shift? Thats makes alot of difference..

It is from Jets Performance it is a chip you get instaled in your ecu. I didn't notice much difference but then I put all the modes in at once.

The track is at 150 ft above sea level so thats good. Temperature is also pretty decent. I ran there Fri night and got some awesome times wiht my friends 93GT. Gotta be the shifting....

what do you recommend for shifting? I am working on my launch and I shift at just about 7000rpm, and shift as fast as I can. I cross the finish almost maxing 3rd gear.

do you lift your right foot when you shift?

Wouldn't I have to? I would revout the engine or blow it if I didn't lift off the gas when shifting. wouldn't I??

first... you have a rev limiter... you won't blow your motor. Secondly... get fast with shifting. I can clutch at 7100 RPM with my
right foot on the floor and be in gear and have the clutch out and be in second or third before I hit my rev limiter at ~7400 rpm. This is without a short through. Just practice man. By the way, I'm pretty sure this isn't terribly great for your transmission.

When you don't let off the throttle between shifts it's called powershifting. I shift like this with both my cars at the track. It is harder on the cars drivetrain but does drop some time. Even if you just let off only a little bit in between shifts in is better than fully letting off. My Mustang doesn't rev up much at all when I powershift..I time it right and shift slam through the gears HARD. I've only missed 1 shift at of over 60+ runs this year. Thats pretty good. Just have to practice...
