Rob you were stock boost right?

Yea unfortunately i was running stock boost, i lost my boost controller.

[maciekb2002]

Ok my time suck, I still have to learn how to take off !!!!
but I did 14,2 , 102 MPH , speed is there but skills not . I had two runs 104mph but to much wheel spin.
I have t5r 5 speed , no LSD.
Next time drag radials should help and hitch comes off.
BTW first time at the track

ST 17psi chip
Exhaust w/ 3" downpipe
HKS SSQV BOV
Wideband
Electronic UEGO boost controller
FMIC
Running 17psi

Thats correct as far as performance.

I am slowly learning that I cant just mash the pedal, but that I have to work it in order to hit and hold 18psi. When I was going through the gears I was not anywhere near 18psi. More like 16 with fade. I was kind of confused since I thought the exhaust, fmic and ebc were going to help with this, but after doing some more driving on the highway on my way back from the track I think I have finally figured things out. I also changed the settings on the boost controller and the car is significantly faster now. I will go to the track within the next month to pick up some better times

Sorry man but there is no possibility that 15g will hold 18 psi to red line , not even 16t will do it.

I guess my 14.7 isn't too bad for 'only' MBC and de-cat.

I haven't run with water injection, 3" dp and all that good stuff. Still need to get a tune, but it's coming with the rebuild.

sounds about right. I ran a 14.9@90.6 with only MBC, grounding wires, other non really performance stuff too. haha

I want to see what I can do with water injection.

How come Wagoneer is not on the 1/4 times list? He ran a 14.3 and has the time slip to prove it.

Youre right, but I should be holding more boost and for longer than I was at the track during my one run when I just mashed the pedal. Thats what I am going to change next time .

Back when I had my black wagon on a ported 15G, I ran with the vacuum line to the wastegate disconnected and spiked 19 psi fading to about 14... Was essentially just about as quick as if it were running 14 or 15 psi steady... Above 15-16 psi it is all in your mind

I guess its time to start saving for the 18t then. Thanks

I hope that's stock, otherwise the cars not running right. I managed a 14.1 running open DP stock

not much done to it, 5spd, mbc @ 14psi, est intake, rip kit, but I had horrible wheel spin, 1,2 and sometimes 3rd gear depending on how long in-between runs, and a open dp will make a huge difference in power delivery, my 60 ft's were in the 2.4-2.7's all day

[gmsgltr]

That is not bad! Are you lowered too? Your sig seems as if but it could just be the dynamics of the turn and or body roll.

yup, tme springs, bilstien HD's, ipd front sway (rear broke, I didn't buy them) it was about 75 degrees out and 70% humidity

Just got back from two runs at Cecil County Dragway... weather was about 80 degrees...

My first was 14.6 @ 93MPH (Tracs on, economy mode, a lil bit of brake boost, first time at the track)

My second was 15.6 @ 93MPH (Tracs off, sport mode, a lil less brake boost by accident)

My mods are clearly listed in my signature; however, I was running a ST chip tune at about 11psi.

I cant be too sure my first run was correct because my 60 foot was 1.7 and I'm not sure if thats possible!

do you get bad wheel spin?? I know before my 5spd I had a sweet spot where the tires would spin just a little, hook-up and go, but now with my 5spd, forget it, horrible traction, but once I get traction, the car just goes.

[gmsgltr]

As weird as this may sound, I dont really know. All kinds of adrenaline was running through me, and both cars I raced were way too loud to hear a damn thing... The first run felt much faster than the second however I trapped the same speed... I def "Hooked Up" on the first one.

Why only 11psi?

[gmsgltr]

Why only 11psi?

Thats what my MBC was set at, also the chip was only in my car at that point for about a week. I am slowly turning it up to break it in. Also I had a CEL (Because for some reason my ECU is a 94 ECU) and a that point I wasnt sure of why I had a CEL...
