Smile Well, it got better and new personal best

Well, decided to give this car one last shot last night and i didnt have any high hopes of running good but, the car ran pretty well. I still need to work on the 60ft, traction problems is messing me up.. Tell me what you think guys... Last week my best run was 12.5@ 105 I think with lower 60ft this car can go 12.2-3 @ 110+

I'd like to know how you're seeing a peak of 23.5psi in 4th on the track with 93oct. That would mean you're actually running 25-26psi, since you're never below 5500rpm in 4th gear on the track.

Work on the '60 and you'll be seeing low 12's. Not bad with your mods.

You're misunderstanding and ignored pretty much everything I said.

There's a big difference between running a peak of 23.5psi in 4th when daily driving, which is achieved at 3500-3700rpm, and hitting a peak of 23.5psi in 4th on the track, which would be seen around 5500-5600rpm. If you peak at 23.5psi in 4th on the track, that means you're really running 25-26psi. Is that what you were doing? Or, are you saying you turned your boost up to where it peaks at 23.5psi on the street, which means you only saw it around 21-22 on the track, since you're never below 5500rpm?

Here's my example. When I ran 12.000 on a mix of 110/93 wihle running 24psi, that was 24psi as seen when rolling into boost from low rpm. I never saw anywhere near 24psi on the track due to the natural taper of the turbo and the fact I am never below 5500rpm. Make sense?

Warrtalon is right, That is impossible that you "peaked" in 4th gear when you dont even see your peak rpm point on the track at 4th gear. 23.5 might be what you saw but in actuality your peak would be around 2psi more.

no i peak 23.5 on the street BUT, when i get to the track i actually boost lower, lets say around 21 peak in 4th so i turn it up that when i shift to 4th at wot i spike 23.5 and it settles at 21-20 by redline.. I understand what you are saying and no im not spiking 25-26 cause the car would be pulling timing like crazy...

usually you lose mph with better traction. Slower trap, faster et.
If you can pull off a better 1/8th et and mph you can get what you want.

Shiftpoints and shifting method can help get another mph or 2 on the backend.
7200rpm no lift shifts and put in some 100+ high octane gas and turn the boost up like 26-28psi, it will get in the 110's. More boost means more power.

Also really depends on your tune if your 3rd and 4th will pull timing or not with the increased boost. You could gain some mph in th 1/8, but lose power in topend, which is what happened in my runs.
