Isn't it frustrating as hell? I have a 57trim (i know not what this is about) But I've had so many passes with ET's of 12.0xx at anywhere from 117 - 119 MPH but just can't seem to break 11's. THis year i'm armed with more power parts (cams etc..), more boost and a better trans with LSD... now to get some new slicks and put this baby in roll cage territory These times were on my pump gas tune but i had C16 in the tank for detonation protection. I was only runnin 19 psi and about 20* timing (both of which are possible on pump gas)

Looking back, i think i could have made the same power and had better spool if i had just went with a 50trim from the start. But hell back then there were very few people on the streets running anything besides a MHI housed turbo (at least in my area), so i didn't really have other's results or opinions to go off of.. I just picked a turbo that i thought would give me a power range from 350 - 450 and ended up with a poochy spooling 57 :/

I wish.... I get a sad 12*... I guess that's what happens when you push 25psi on pump. Oh and a 50trim on a 2.3 has to be fun as hell. I know you'll break traction and make mad tourque because this spins on a 2.0l
