Groundhogs Day
I'm talking the movie with Bill Murray.
5x 14.5@92.~
3x 14.6@92.~
1x 15.1@88.~
the last one was where I launched, heard the clutch squeal, shifted to 2nd and felt the clutch slip for about 1/2 a second before it caught. After that I just drove the car pretty normally through the rest of the 1/4. It's fine now, but by the time I did that I had been running every 5 minutes. I was also trying new things, like letting the clutch out a little faster.
It scared me a bit at first, but it was fine on the drive home.
At least I'm consistent...

Sounds like you're going as quick as your current setup will allow. When one usually hits a wall, it's either because they're retarded (like I was with my tire pressures) and/or because they've hit the limit of their combo...
I think I'm going as fast as my current tune allows.
With Friday's crappy weather I ran:
13.000 101.97 <-- Bounced off rev limiter in 1st
12.972 102.69
12.940 102.75
12.912 102.69
12.920 102.45
13.442 102.03 <-- Ed made me nervous and I bogged the launch
So 6 passes and 4 12.90's...
