Really appreciate you posting your times, bad or good. Interesting (if somewhat mysterious) thread.

you 60 ft times are a bit slow. i am going to give to you that you are killing tc and dsc.

the quickest way i have found to 60 ft is rev to 5 5.5k and dont just dump the clutch feather it in quickly. this avoids wheelspin and hop. you have to practice it. and yes it will wear your clutch.

when you can smell the clutch, put the car away for the night.

beers

I wouldn't bother. It's not like we got traction problems.

Exactly, plus street tires do not benefit significantly from being heated up from a burn-out.

Despite what you may think, I seriously doubt activating the Canzoomer helped you get those improved times. I think you just made better launches.
