Congrats on 12.1, you're getting close. Looks like the car has the power, now you gotta put it there. Good luck if you go out again.

SBstar, im launching at around 4500. Anything higher than that it builds too much boost.
Thanks Phil, ill try and get out again for sure!
Pneumo, im using a chip from Keydiver. He was burning me free chips and they were making very good and consistent power. DSM link will be on the way though, swiching to speed density and really doing some work.
You are welcome. Joe--4500 seems a bit low. Can you just get on the stutter a bit later? - as to not build too much boost....what type of boost are you seeing ?
Im seeing about 9psi at 4500. Anything higher just torches them off. Once i get the good meats on it ill turn it up to like 5200 when i dont have to worry about steering away from the tree haha
Bump for wondering what happend Joe? Where you been? In case you haven't read, I ended up losing my original 14b last month on what would have been an 11.57 pass. Best pass until that point was 11.62. Blew the turbo on my 5th pass of the day. So, might have been able to get back into the 11.4's within the next five passes or so. Anyway, that wasn't meant to happen.
So, what's the deal on your end?
Also, how heavy is that torque solutions mount vs. the stock mount? The steel looks pretty beefy which is good, but if it weighs 2 lbs. more that wouldn't be good.........
I tore her down for the winter, head work being done, switchin a few hings aroud. got a set of k sport coilovers on the way.
the tq solutions mount is no heavier than the stock mount...its beefy, but aluminum. next season its done. Welding the center diff too while its down. Got a set of motegi trac lites lined up with some M&H slicks too.
I also got V3 for it. switching to SD and getting it on the dyno after i get the head back
Oh, I was wondering why I hadn't seen an update. Why did you tear it down so early....you were only a couple tenths away from 11.XX? Anyway, sounds like you've got some cool stuff lined up for it. V3 is definitely cool.
Ok, so the mount is aluminum....that clears things up. I might do that, although the Prothane mount for the front that they came out with is better than the old Prothane sandwich inserts that I have now mounted in the original 21 year old mount and is cost effective at $15 bucks. However, I like the Torque Solutions piece. We'll see.

Eh didnt have much time to get to the track again, and the weather wasnt on my side very much.
PS the tq solutions mount was a free bee, , jay hooked me up with the prototype to make sure it fit.
Phil have you ever thought about picking up one of Paul's chromoly bars that run across the front of the car? It has a soild front roll stop which I think would help out a lot more than the insets you have, plus the bar takes off some weight. His new design, that he hasn't released yet, even has north south bars. Check it out. He posted the weight of the bars in the thread here:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/custom-fabrication/383215-new-3-pc-crossmember-input-needed.html I would love to see you knock some more tenths off your 11.4 time.
Hey Joe, what all you got going on with this thing this winter?
Wow very nice numbers!
