You beef up the brakes yet?

Electric exhaust dump?

Sound system?

Speed density set-up?

Update the interior with newer seats?

3 10 inch audiobonds and a 1200 watt amp have not messed with breaks interior is original but literally flawless.

Hey here's an idea.

What's your goal with the car?

I want to run mid 11s best run was 11.9
 
Switch to E85 or get some meth injection going. Did you get decent struts or just OEM replacements? Get some nice adjustables in there, it'll help with weight transfer. What motor mounts are you running?

Struts are aftermarket motor mounts are stock I dont like E85 bcause its my daily and I live in a small town the nearest gas station with E85 is 15 miles away LOL.
 
Save up. Drive it like you stole it. When you break, upgrade that part with the best available part that your money can buy.
 
Then go meth injection and tune again. What was your WHP/WTQ? How much boost?

It was tuned with ECM link v2 no dyno I dont know the whp or wtq. The most i spike on 93 octane setup is 23.8psi

Nitrous...?

Possibly but I dont run it too often since its my daily.

Hahah I already do man =p
 
Does V2 not have horsepower estimation? I'm not familiar with it. Get to a dyno and find out if your car's not making enough power or if you're just not a good drag driver. I stand by meth injection and increasing boost.

Reaction time 60ft etc. ik I can drive on the strip and I had it tuned by J racing and he has not emailed me the tune so I cant check hp or torque. I really want something that can improve my performance on 93 and 110 octane.
 
For the third time, meth injection. Also, get a logger that YOU can keep track of. You may be stretching your 60-1 as far as it goes.

I hear you on the injection but honestly I am not familiar with the process on how to convert.

Also ive ran my turbo at 27psi on 100 octane so its not stretching it this is my daily 93 octane tune I hit 23.8psi
 
Without seeing air flow logs you can't really know how much you're pushing the turbo, especially without IAT logs as well! If you're unfamiliar with meth injection, start reading.

I am reading on the process right now LOL and you make a valid point about the IAT log im 99% sure its not pushing the turbo to its limits I just know my setup very well I will get the tune emailed to me and double check tho.
