Need Help

I went to the track last night and this was my best time.
r/t... .657

60'... 1.744

330...5.081

1/8...7.855

mph...88.32

1000...10.245

1/4...12.253

mph...110.83

2nd best time

r/t... .403

60' ...1.782

330...5.143

1/8...7.939

mph...86.99

1000...10.356

1/4...12.376

mph...110.33

I did a few more run 12.4 @ 109mph.

I've a problem; my car is only traping 110mph. I want to know if it my car that's weak or I suck as a driver. I've seen other cars with less mod.traping 115mph running 11's all day long.
By the way i have boltons,exhaust cams,custom dynoflash.Any info will be appreciate.
thanks.

its not your driving, the trap speed is good for the ET. something is up with the cars power though. You should be trapping closer to 115 with your mods on c16 & 26psi. first thing I would do is a boost leak test.

7800 is way to high, try shifting at 7k next time. I don't think thats your total problem though, it will help some but something else is holding you back in the power department.

can you list all your mods?

Shifting way to late, I have no idea what would prompt you to go to 7800 on stock turbo, they run out of steam at 7k for the most part. Go back and try again garunteed 11's. I know because I did the same thing, and was running 13.9's at 101 with my open front diff, stock clutch, and no test pipe. With a test pipe and spinning all through 1st, to the point where the car got sideways I got a 13.1 at 106, and Im going back on friday with the right tire pressure, Im sure ill hit a 12.8 at 108. Plus I just put in the bottle.

your mods don't look out of line, the injen intake isn't the greatest but as long as your tuned for it you should be ok. you sure you didn't have any leaking from the stock BOV when you did a boost leak test?? did you actually pressurize the intake track from the compressor inlet and listen for leaks? how much psi did you go to? or did you do the 'eyeball' boost leak test and just look around to see if everything is ok?
