Actually, your numbers are more in line with the "ideal times" using the calculator on Wallace Racing's website based on our 1/4 mile ET's.

Also, I've made a video of all my runs that day for anyone that has 5 minutes to kill... https://youtu.be/1i1TwcL28Mo

Same tune, same shift points. I just tweaked the shocks and tire pressure a little trying to get it to hook. The air got better throughout the day and the wind calmed down. I also took out everything that wasn't bolted down....and maybe a couple things that were!
