My feet can barely handle a standard launch with controlled RPM at the yellows, I wasn't about to ask them to coordinate any brake/clutch/gas dancing.
All shifts were indeed at 7000rpm, or as close as my adrenaline fueled brain could get them, there were a few 7200 shifts in there I'm sure.
The botched shift wasn't to 5th, it just wouldn't go in. There's some fluid dripping from my clutch hard line where it goes into my brand new master cylinder, I may of been loosing some pressure there. Once my wife has a minute to help me, I'll see if I can see some bubbles there and do some further investigation. Otherwise, although my times sucked, I had a blast and that little clutch line issue seems to be the only gremlin after 10 runs.

you don't want to shift at torque peak, you want to shift well past the torque peak.
*edit: and if this vd is accurate

then shifting at redline is perfectly fine on your setup

Not that that's where I shift...but in my mind unless you're really awesome at drag racing, lets say peak torque is 6,600. By the time you react, it'll be later than that.

Here's the real dyno, sorry, I thought I had posted it somewhere.
The dyno was all around fail too, I wasn't driving the car, and he wouldn't start below 2400 or go to 7000. The red line was an accuracy thing though, on the last run I told him to ignore the tach and go by the laptop tach, still didn't read 7000 on the dyno.

its all practice practice practice man.
get you a lil logbook and try different shift points and launchin rpm and take notes on what you did each pass. the easies and cheapest way to go faster is drive it better.
at least your at the dragsrtip. most of these 300 hp Miata **** wouldn't dare take their **** out there

If I was precise enough, I'd write down my launch RPMs and results, however those first 10 passes I was too nervous to look away from the lights. I went off engine sound, and was fairly consistent after a pass or two, slowly upping the revs until my epic launch that netted me my best 60', although that's the one I botched the 2-3 shift :(

Finally made it back. 9 years of hard labor, expensive parts, blood, sweat, and tears, and I managed a 13.5. This time at Woodburn drag strip with some co-workers testing a 335. Still **** tires (RS4), still **** driver (me), but I had a torsen, 1.8, and 250hp. 12s would be easy with a decent tire and driver.

Dang! this one was resurrected from the grave lol....
Congrats. Trapping 85mph in the 1/8th is not too shabby for a daily driver 4 cylinder. You are faster than my 06 wrx i used to have. It was mechanically stock but I mildly tuned up a bit with romraider. It only trapped 77mph in the 1/8.
