I just went to the track recently for the first time with new mods. Turbo-back 3in, Injen Intake, MBC@15psi, UICP, and Webcams street grind. The car was slower than I had expected. Then after my 3rd run, we noticed that my rubber boot on the UICP was sliced from the hole in the sheet metal to the intercooler not being big enough. A lot of air is escaping. Obviously I am going to fix it but would that make a huge difference in performance or a small one??
Also, I was told that the car was ready for the cams, now I'm not so sure, as everyting before the 1/8 mile was slower than stock. My mph was 10 faster and my E/T was faster by eight tenths, but it didn't go anywhere of the line, I mean no where. I was expecting a 13.9-14.1. It's an auto...should I just relax and wait with the cams for a bigger turbo and/or torque converter?
Any help appriciated
