If my new tyres grip well at 30-32psi would you recommend upping the pressures?

It tickles me how STi fanboys like you say thomas is credible.
Lol Tubbs often claims (after stating a Newage needs over 400bhp to run 12's) he ran 12.8 with passenger, boot full of tools and stock power levels of 256bhp.
I believe the bit about tools in the car though.
Anyway, just missed out on a trophy!

below 12 is an awesome time.

i wasnt running today but got 12.8 in june [2012]

It tells you that it was due to the variables like driver, track conditions,tyres,reaction times etc.
Basically the only way to get a true comparision is remove all the variables,the. Reason drag racing is a sport is due to the variables.
If it was possible to remove them the same car would win every time and the sport wouldnt exist.
I ran 12.8 with 256 bhp and a passenger so I may take up drag racing

Why would I need to? I'm not claiming a 10.?? like DaveW. I had loads of mid 12's, on good runs and 13's on shit runs.
I suppose you could say that I backed my 12.5 on the day up.
On average, how many runs do you get at Melbourne these days? 4 or 5?

Days runs.
Might be of interest to someone that;
the 0-60ft of 2.26 got me a 0-60mph of 5.2 secs
the 0-60ft of 1.79 got me a 0-60mph of 3.8 secs
What's Dialin?

Not sure what Dialin is, I think it's the time you take to stage. Breaking the 1st beam to the second.
So you got 5 runs? That's why Melbourne is shit.
I've got time slips for 18 runs when I did my 12.4s. I could have done loads more had I wanted too, but, I let my car cool down a bit through out the day.

To be fair I also have a WRX - have previously had two Impreza STI's. Though I don't claim mine can / does or ever will run a 10sec. Though at least I've done it right and fitted a 6speed / brembos etc :P

Lol, sorry guys, I've been making the car handle and brake better without using parts that'll darken street lights.
I've promised myself one more mod for acceleration but I'm not yet decided as to what.

I won't even mention the lad who passed me in a traffic jam and told everyone he beat me.
