The driving is good, but I think your traps are a bit low...

Boost leak perhaps?

Not trying to be a dick but not really. Your '60 is actually pretty good for your first time but the E.T. and trap is bad for your mods and '60. The ET could be attributed to slow shifting but your low trap makes it seem like something is wrong with the car. Do you have a tune or MBC? If not that is probably your problem.

Well its alittle low but not bad for not having a tune. Get tuned and it will make a huge difference.

i thought a MBC was supposed to keep your boost from spiking and falling... and whats the point of the boost controller if your running stock boost?
