Well today was my first time to run my car at the track. My first five runs where like 15.5 and 15.4, thats running about 12-13 psi.....

Ofcourse I thought this to be to high for my car so I turned up the BOOST to about 15-16 psi... then I ran a 14.793 @89.87.

My best 60' foot time was a 2.100 which I thought to be high as well but with the stock clutch I guess its alright.

Let me know what yall think about my times.:talon: :thumb:
 
it looks like your almost stock, so, not bad, but you should be at least at mid to low 14's.

My best with a stock clutch is 1.789, and I average 1.8
 
Besides my 60' foot times sucking, my main problem was getting my boost situation right. What I mean is I boost 12pounds in first, second, and third gears...but in fourth and fifth gear, I boost a steady 14pounds(I don't have a clue as to why though). I left it that way since my car has almost 175K miles on it. So my first few passes I was only boosting 12pounds because I normally never got out of third gear. So on my sixth and final past I turned the boost up to about 15 or 16pounds.

I do need to work on my 60' foot though.

At what RPM's should I launch at??? I was launching at around 4K...

what do you think???
