first time @ track with new car

[GST StreetRacer]

hey guys, i got a 92 tsi awd this week, all i've done to it is basic maint. stuff, plus greddy boost and egt gauge, MBC @ 1.2bar(~16psi??) and k&N filter.

i got four runs done, first one was boost @ 0.8bar, 15.4 @ 84mph, 60' time was 2.1, i dont know why i cant just get it down to 2.0 or 1.9, i think clutch is slipping a little.

second i fiddle with the mbc and it actually lower the boost to about 0.7bar, results 15.7 @ 80mph, 60' time was 2.3.

third i finnally get the mbc to work properly and get .9bar, 15.4 @ 83mph, 60' was 2.2.

fouth and final, mbc @ 1.2bar, 15.0 @ 87mph, 60' time was 2.1 and i got a little wheel hop on the front.

over all i'm happy with the time, i'm not experienced with awd, i used to drive a 95 gst, but i think i did pretty good considering the mods

What RPM's are you launching at???

You have to get your 60 feet down to at least 1.8-1.9, and you will have a chance of cracking 14's.

I launch at 5500 rpm's and my best 60 foot was 1.789, but I average 1.8's with a stock clutch.

i launch at 5500 to 6000, but the clutch is slipping, i just realized it last night.
