    i'm not worried about the bottom end... i'm going to have it dyno tuned for 21psi whenever i get around to being able to afford that. any higher and i'd need a new map sensor (i think i talked to you about this).

    the taller 4th really lugs... not really noticeably but it shows in the timeslips. i picked up almost a tenth in the 1/8th mile, but by the end of the 1/4 i was dead even with my best from last year....

      After a year went again tonight and I managed a 13.6. Getting there but street tires really don't help. I upped the boost as the night went on but a really humid dew settled in and power and traction both suffered. My highest trap was again 107 but this time it was at 17-18 psi.

        Geez, you badly need slicks. I managed a 13.8 at 103.8 on street tires. Also forgot to take out stuff in my trunk so i could've pulled out a 13.7.

        I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

            good numbers never the less. I have an almost identical time slip from yesterday. AWD, 20 psi, no launching due to a bad clutch, 2.45 60', 13.85 and 110 mph. It's all about the launch and in your case, the front 2 tires

            I ran against a 380 whp/wtq evoX, he managed a 12.45 at 110 launching it at 5K rpm; shows again it's all about the launch.

              ET is indeed all about the launch. Trap is about power and how well you shift. Good times 323driver - I wish I had awd. I'd drive it in the winter instead of garaging it till the spring like it is now.

                  Indeed, you can see it with my trap speed which is all about power.

                  Well, at least you have a clean egt while mine, being driven in winter, has rust spots and dirty. But who cares anyways.
