Based on that video you should definitely be shifting into 4th. You'll probably pick up at least 2mph, and maybe a bit of time.
I shifted into 4th on the 1st one but it didn't seem to do much. I was pretty much at the finish by the end of the shift. If I could hook and go it would be a different story. 2nd run was a bust so I tried switching it up on the last attempt. I think tall slicks would work out but I'm not planning on spending a ton of time at the strip so probably not a worthwhile investment right now.Based on that video you should definitely be shifting into 4th.

Is the spreadsheet up to date? Not a lot of 6MT times I can compare with directly but it looks like that's the fastest IS20, 6MT, pump gas with regular street tires currently on the list. In the mix with the DSG guys, too. I'll take that.
Dutch, It looks like you have wheel hop at launch. I had it too once. Two things that might remedy it. Dogbone insert and leave at higher RPM's, like 3K. You'll cut another 2-4 tenths just from bad wheel hop.
I went 108mph on just JB1 and DP on pump gas, 6MT - 12.5@113 on 5150 93 tune.
Definitely something up with your car, or shifting/setup.
I got your PM, will add your time
Here is my best time, as of Sept. 29th, at Luskville with my 2017 Audi A3 quattro 2.0T:
12.469 @ 110.41mph. 60':1.870
Stock engine and fuel system / stock IS20 turbo / DSG / MS109 fuel / WR -200lbs / 19" PZero / JB4 / M. GAGNE / Luskville
Could you update my entry in the chart? Thanks!
P.S.: Trying to squeeze one more track day on Oct. 13th in Napierville... We'll see how it goes!
Ahh that was you with the A3?!! Dark grey? Sorry I didn't put two and two together. I (carbon steel 2dr GTI) was with Paul (black R) and Marc (dark blue GTI).
I'm planning on going to Napierville on the 13th as well. See you there.
