This was with a broken Greddy Profec B Spec II. The unit inside fried halfway to the track, so I have no idea how much this affected my time, or what boost I was running for that matter.
I owe a '99 GSX
Mods: K&N Intake , Borla 2.5" cat-back exhaust. And my broken EBC of course.
 
Thats really really terrible with horrible driving. Your boost must have been way down, don't you have a boost guage? And were you driving with one leg? How many passes did you get? Even after 2-3 passes you should have been getting1.9's
 
Thanks for the pep talk. It was my first time at the track. I have a boost guage, but my a-pillar has been on back-order for a month now :rolleyes: , so I was using my EBC to monitor my boost. I'm guessing I was running 9psi, just a guess, since my car felt like it had no balls that night. 1.9's as in 60 ft times right? That was the first times I've ever launched my car, I'm still trying to get the hang of it. Does anybody know where I should be at in the 1/8th times wise? If my EBC would have been working that is. Gosh I hope Greddy will warranty it.
 
Sorry, I know that was a dick response. If you get your boost up and launch harder you should be good for low 9's, maybe mid 9's. i dont know to much about T25's.
 
Thats what I was hoping for, was 9's. Hopefully I'll have better luck next time. We came in late, so I only got to do 2 runs. My first run was a 10.5, my second time I got the hang of it a little better (i never launch my car in fear of breaking something.. so this was my first time really) and my second time it was the 10 .. I'm thinking if I got a third run, I could of gotten into the high 9's, gosh I wish I knew what my boost control valve was stuck at.
 
launch hard, I made over a hundred passes with more then twice your power and never broke anything.

you should hook up the gauge and just let it chill in your glove box until you have an a pillar.
 
I goo 5.5-6k, hold the rev steady and let the clutch out a tiny bit, as the car starts to roll I floor it and dump it at the same time.
