12.6@112
So I went back to the track on 18psi with 28* of timing at full boost and a 6 speed. I picked up 2 mph since the last time I was there but more importantly, I went from my previous 13.1 to a 12.6. This was with a 2.0 60' I need more clutch slippage.

Thanks guys. 
Completely stock suspension, falken zx street tires, loads of wheelhop. In that video I slipped the clutch and it did away with most of the wheelhop.
The vette ran a 12.7 and I ran a 12.8 that pass. Due to reaction times we crossed the line very close together though, I couldnt tell who crossed first. I talked to him aftewards and he said "I looked over and saw you next to me at the 1/8th and i thought, 'I am NOT going to lose to a miata.'"
Will do. It was a lot of fun.

That C6 Vette must be a good driver. Most of the car mags put it at 12.8 / 113 ballpark, which is right at, or just over, what he ran. Those car rags usually have a pretty hot shoe for the testing and also beat on the car a lot harder than most owners would. Talented guy or some minor mods to run that level.
How you feeling about 18psi on your stock motor? Have you put many miles on it at that level? Consider the WI a must do?
Nice run. I'm excited about turning up the boost and hitting the 1/4 again.
Slipping the clutch is essential for keeping the diff together. Tough as hell to do with your 4 puck unsprung clutch!

Very nice! Giving the C6 a run makes it even better. 0.1s is in the noise and practically a tie IMO.
If/when I get my car into the 12s I will be a happy camper. It is nice to know it is possible with some good driving and without drag radials. I assume you are slipping the clutch at launch (1st) and shifting more or less normally (quickly) after that?
