What is the two-step set at? Maybe raise it a bit and cut down that 60ft a little.

High 12's or 13flat would be in your future! Keep it up!

launch control was about at 6200 with the works brain flash. i slipped the clutch i think a little bit to long. i got a fmic and piping along with a boost controller, got to get into the 12's!

looks alot like what i got on my first time to the track. I dont have cams or a flash though. Everyone told me that its just going to take practice to get the launchs down and that will drastically help the end result.

I know when i was at the track i could hold 3rd almost til the line if i tried to run it out, but wasnt as fast if i shifted closer to the redline than well into it.

Your driving doesn't seem too bad, although it does look like your car is underpowered for the mods. There are many people, including myself, that have went faster completely stock.

I would run a few tests (boost leak, compression, leak down) and make sure everything is completely healthy, then see about a full custom tune.

i did a boost leak test today and found 2 injector o rings leaking and the throttle body hissing, but do these really hurt performance that much?

Yes. Boost leaks can hurt performance and transient response (ie how quickly boost build back up after a shift), which both kill times and traps.

Also the cat isnt helping. The BC cams are known for not bring the best. Same with the WORKS flash.

Also, this is on CA 91oct correct?
