No i didn't spray off the line, i'd launch...hookup and then arm the switch at WOT. Keep in mind this is with a really bad launch and a slipping clutch. Also .20 in the 1/8 would be like .31 in the quarter mile. I guarantee you an ex with a 55 shot would wipe the floor with you. I pulled really hard on rolling races which took away the abusive 1st to 2nd gear shift on the slipping clutch and i pulled topend pretty good. Took out a SVT focus, Spec V, 00 stock ITR, and a stock WRX. You should try a 55 shot, the power difference is very noticable....my time doesn't reflect the kind of extra power i put down with a 55 shot. Here's a good indicator...i trapped around 71.8 mph in the 1/8 with a 55 shot. I'm pretty sure you didn't get close to that.
You should also work on your launches...2.42 isn't that great, you could get your time down considerably if you got a better launch. On my rotas/kumhos/slipping stock clutch i've hit 2.23 with mostly 2.25-2.28's
