What premium fuel are you running,e10 100 from United is the best imo?

Another tip to try,if you have good stick street tires(Neuton nt5000 are good in 18s)avoid the water and just stage the car without a burnout and try the run,you may be suprised.Do you have a lsd,you may bot even need it,pump the wheel that spins less likely up 10psi more

Just trying to get you that every little bit,I recon that air con/thermo fan idea was mine to lol,I now have the switch/s so that no fans are on when leaving the line,not even low speed.PM me if you want the wire colours to tap into and ill draw you a diagram.I miss my old 167rwkw BA Futura MK11 Wagontwas fun,used to bag the left wheel for donkeys years.
+1 Fan switch idea is Freddys was just passing the tip on. The AC part is diff tip relating to lower thermostat temp control. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11345587

The thermo fans kicking in on the start line were responsible for my mediocre times so a switch to turn them off would be helpful.

To make matters worse, the intercooler pipe goes through the space under the headlight and due to the angle it passes through it blocks nearly all of the incoming air through that spot. Taking out the light would be my best bet for the drags like you did FPVGTHO.
Have you got a XCAL if so just adjust both fans to max temp use the aircon to force both fans on until after the burnout box. Wrap the airbox in flexible heatsheild. Remove the foglight as well.
