Your time could improve a litle bit since your 330 is a little slow, should be atleast a 4.9 with your setup...just a wanted to add that since that hadn't been said yet...

I'm not really all that concerned about my et/trap speed, I just took it to the track since i was bored and there was nothing to do on wednesday. Just figured I'd see what i could do. I knew i wasnt going there to break any records or run 10 seconds lol. But I appriciate all the comments.

Get your motor and head built. I had a similar set-up (stock) with a 35R and couldn't do any better than a 122MPH trap on 93 and alky. It will be a world of difference when it's built. Trust me on that Until then go to the track get used to the 2-step and have fun. That's what it's all about

Warr always tells it how it is. Once again he's hit the nail on the head. That was a waste of money with only cams which make it even spool slower. If your really going to build it soon then stick with it, if not drop down in size. Im trapping 119 with just 94 octane, a mild cam setup, the apexi power fc(which has no two step), and Slowboy racing's GT3076r. With meth/pump I hope I get 125-127mph. EvoLunchbox has the same turbo as you, but with BR 2.3 stroked and their stage 3 head. He's already hit 140mph on 120octane and only 30lbs of boost. Buschur tuned him at 34 lbs on 120, so he's still got to find his max trap.

Another thing is that my 2step only sees about 7psi on the launch. I figured it should be higher, especially for a 37r?

60ft - 1.841
330 - 5.068 92.68mph
660 - 7.702
1000 - 9.948
1320 - 11.874 @ 117.60


Comments appriciated - good or bad, I have a thick skin I can take it lol
The best part about this is, you are actually out there doing it!!

Give it some time, things will come around.

I agree that without a built motor and head that this setup seems useless right now, but I do plan on building the motor and the head over the winter. So for now, i'm just playing around with it.

Id say get yourself some valve springs and retainers, spin the motor to about 8300 and hope it can take it until you build her up!

Ya,I know,but TTP and Trinababe push thier motor to 8.8k for 1 season and have no problem.OT,you can also get some 3.84 FD to improve trap and top speed.

don't get down on your car keep going to the track & get used to it.
i have a journal bearing t67 & went 122mph last night on 27psi stock motor & head just cams.. if you get your 330 down tons your mph will come up to the 120's just keep @ it & rev your motor a little more like 8100 or so
