Again, a 1.76 60' should be plenty in negative DA to get you an 11 slip but I would lower the pressure some more than 26 and leave at idle, it's been proven over and over again to be the best technique for quickest e.t.
I also disagree on the A8 comment, knowing your car and launching it correctly seperates the men from the boys. Good luck man, hope you get it.

Snowblind,
I've not unbolted anything from the car but i have made sure that there was nothing in the car. Removed everything from the glove box and truck. Car is also running radials on the rear with a set of knock off vette wheels. The combo is about 4 lbs lighter than stock so nothing major. I'm looking at using a buddies set of skinnies on the front so that should help.
I completely agree that the negative DA should have put me in the 11's. When I came back and the time slip showed a 12 I was shocked as the run "felt" better than anything previous.
I'll play with pressures when I go back next weekend. If I went below 24 the car would bog leaving so I bumped it up until the 60' stopped improving but I dropped below 20 so i'll give it a shot.
The only think I can think thaty might be effecting the car is all of the transmission issues the car has had. The trans has been replaced twice and it's on it's 4th converter so I'm wondering if something isn't 100% with all of that.
If I get within a tenth I'll start pulling stuff out of the car to get there and stick my skinny buddy in the car.
