ok well went to the track tonight, got a best of 12.9 at 108. not to satisfied, i know i could drop my time quite a bit with getting a better 60ft, mine was only a 1.8. Now with that said i was still expecting more mph out of my setup.

What do you guys think would benefit me the most for my next step, my current mods are 20g turbo tdo5h, 2g throttle body elbow,full 3' magnaflow exhaust, test pipe,stock 2g intake pipe, magnecor plug wires, k&n air filter,2g maf, 650cc injectors, turbonetics extranal gate, 2g ports ex.manifold, halman boost controler, fluidyne rad, buschur front mount with short route piping, greddy bov, 2g o2 housing, s-afc, data logger, autometer egt gauge and boost gauge, aem uego wide band. As far as enigne parts just arp head studs. When I ran it was on 25 psi, no knock timing was up to about 22-23, on about 3 gallons of 93 and 5 gallons of 112. thanks for any and all advice guys.

I would get rid of the 2g tb elbow and get 2.5" custom one (not a biggie about this one but i just didnt like my 2g one, just look inside and you'll see) .... My friend you need a lot of tunnig there.... You shouldnt see any knock with some racing gas and 25psi...and your trap speed suck on 20g... You could do better.... tunnig again
 
i would recommend alot more tuning or to sell the safc and logger and get dsmlink.
with the mods you have you should be able to run the 14b to a 12.9.
i also see you don't have a fuel pump in your mod list?
 
Get a wideband, you will need it, we all do....:thumb:

You have it allready, im sorry for my lazyness to read all your mods....

thanks staticb
 
Yeah i agree, 255 and an afpr. Then DEFINITELY DSMlink.

You said there was no knock, and timing was around 23. That doesn't sound too bad.

I'm kind of at a loss here as to why you wern't trapping better times.

He already has AEM wideband Mirk.

There has to be a bottleneck somewhere, and i'd say it's tuning but you said you were getting no knock on 25 psi. I dunno man.
 
Cams would help, but a day at the dyno would work wonders for you at this point. Hopefully you have the proper fuel mods like a 255 and AFPR? A 1.8 60' is pretty good and I would not consider that part of the problem, it is your trap speed that is an issue with that 20G. Do the normal tests for boost leaks and compression. Getting a key driver chip or like said before dsmlink are a much better tuning tool than a S-AFC. Sell that unit and think about one of the two. Much better 1/4 mile times should be ahead of you with some good old tunning.
 
sorry that i didnt state it, but yes i do have a 255 and a afpr. f.p is at stock psi. i do think that tuning will help its just hard for me to run leaner then like 11:1 last night for some reason. it would start knocking but i think that was due to the safc adding in so much timing at the same time. i think i will try a chip and go from there for tuning.
 
What exctually happens when you put racing gas and turn up the boost over 20psi, you've got to add some timing in higher RPM range.... Once, I've gained 60hp by just adjusting the timing on my DSMLINK with the same fuel adjustments .... Definetly DSMLINK:thumb:
 
i doubt that there is a boost leak due to the fact that the car pulls great and doesnt break up. when I had put race gas in it i did have to lean the whole range out from about 15-20 precent to get the afr's good and then the timing shot way up. backed the base timing down a bit and it was running great.
