Transmission temperature ??

Thanks for the help...here are the answers to the questions so far.

I am not an experienced racer. I have been racing on and off since the late nineties. I usually make it to the track around 10 times per year.
I will admit that on the starting line i am usually nervous however I try to pay attention to how I stage and feel as if I do stage fairly consistent.

This car is a new setup for me and last fall was the first time I raced it.
I have very few passes in the car; fewer than 20.
I have no idea of what the transmission temperature is or the line pressure.
I have a Be Cool aluminum radiator in it with the built in transmission cooler.
I never have had a problem with the car over heating and honestly did not think the transmission would be.

Here are the days time slips for the second time I had the car out 1/8 mile

PASS 60ft MPH ET air pressure time slip notes

1 1.454 102.04 6.674 7 psi
2 1.500 103.45 6.684 7 psi
3 1.550 100.90 6.815 8 psi pressure change
4 1.532 103.21 6.776 7 psi
5 1.544 103.21 6.785 7 psi longer burnout
6 1.586 102.04 6.859 6.5 psi try psi change

My first observation......... That's way too much tire for that combination...... Let's start there.
What rear gears?
