Opinions on my 1/8th mile times, suggestions on improvement

[2wdsux]

For the last few weeks, I've been racing at a local 1/8th mile track in a weekly "Import Shootout". I have placed pretty well both weeks and have only been beaten by other AWD DSM's. My best time so far has been a 9.11 at 74mph with a 1.90 short time. My car has a stock clutch and stock 3 bolt. My current mods are 2.5" turbo back exhaust, 16g, Hacked MAF, 2.5" UICP and HKS BOV. I also have a Hallman MBC, however I spent last week figuring it out. I was only on 9 psi when I ran a 9.1 and I have since dialed the Hallman in and am running a strong 15 psi. I wanted to get some opinions on my times. I'll take criticism because I want to get better, not have my ego stroked. I have an extensive history street racing in my old Talon, but I want to stick to the track with my "new" car. Like I stated above, I want to get better so if my times suck, let me know.

Uhhh.... I certainly hope you have data logged the car and/or have an upgraded fuel system to be running 15 psi on a 16G. If not then you are most likely experiencing extreme amounts of knock. I would not run that much boost even with my built engine and FMIC without data logging it. -Ian
