2nd drag strip experience (11/22/12)

After some disappointing runs at FIXXFEST @ Desoto speedway and my car experiencing: timing drops (one at 4,000rpm, and another at 6,300rpm), only boosting to 16.5psi, and shifting faster than my left foot could handle the clutch, I decided to take another crack.

My original best was my 3rd out of 5 runs at FIXXFEST:
r/t .076
60' 2.359
1/8 9.074 @ 90.30 mph
1/4mile 13.487 @ 111.94 mph

My current fastest run my was my 3rd out of 6 runs my second time around:
60' 2.002
330 5.971
1/8 8.774 @ 91.30
1000 11.249
1/4 12.627 @ 113.98

My shift points where 1-2 @ 6,000rpm, and 6,300rpm in the other gears. I was then suggested by another member to shift at redline. Logs showed a timing drop at 6,300rpm (but would ramp up normal prior to), not sure why that's creeping up all of a sudden with these lower temps. So there's possibly another tenth or two, and maybe 1mph in there with my current mods if I shifted later and figured out my timing drop issue? IDK. Once NLS gets worked out with the JB4, that will be next on my list.

Mods: JB4 G5 ISO, 17.5psi (50 additive), approx E50 blend (E85/93), 80/20 methanol.

Are these normal results for my mods?
