1st time at the track
Well, I gave it a try. No matter what I tried I couldn't get good traction off the line. I am dissappointed with my times. Stock tires suck ass 
With more practice and slicks I think I could get in the mid - 13's like I should be in with my mods.
Here is my best run
R/T: 0.650
60 Foot: 2.346
330 Foot: 6.613
1/8 Mile: 9.991
1/8 MPH: 75.12
1000 FT: 12.72
1/4 Mile: 15.184 (On Stock Tires)
1/4 MPH:95.13

whats your elevation..??
don't beat yourself up, those times are respectable for a 1st time.
Think about shifting and how high your taking the revs.
I also think that with practice you could easily get mid 14's.

Elevation is 121 ft / 36 m. Temp was about 59 deg F
One of the guys at the track did mention that he noticed I was reving too high. What is the best RPM for each gear while at the track? I would shift between 6200 and 6700 PRM from second to third then to 4th.

I roll lauch...not sure if that makes sense, but I let it roll out and then feather the clutch out and floor it. I don't get good 60' times but I am consistently in the 14.5's @ 100+ mph and I don't shift into 4th until after the win light comes on.

I havent seen any stg kit dyno's yet , but I know on my dyno's my power curve is still climbing when it stops at 6500 . I would try shifting all your runs at 6800-6900 next time . And only hit 4th if you absolutely have too .
For the comment about "you shouldnt have to shift 4th " on mine , anytime I went over 100 mph I had to short shift 4th the last 10 or so feet or I woulda hit the rev limit in 3rd . I dunno if that applies witht he 7000 rpm limit in the staged pcms though

You shouldn't have too hit 4th gear at all! I got 200-300rpm left at the end of the track in 3rd gear I have never hit 4th with the ZZP 3" Pulley and STG 1 kit. Where did you run? I ran a 13.64@104mph with a 2.144 60ft at Cayuga or (Toronto Motorsport Park) on Sat.
