For some reason you don't hit the boost you would hit on the streets. I noticed this after logging my runs for the first time last year

That pretty funny about the pen and paper Ive seen you in that weight reduction thread. Your really serious about not getting FAT

Im sure youll be trapping higher if you actually were at 40psi. Anyway to verify what boost level your at after adjusting the MBC?

Oh man you got that single digit pass even if you suck at driving jk... I predict a 145 trap when boost is at 40

Side note: about this new "Stiffer" spring. When was this released? I just picked up a new Hallman pro because mine started to look not so good. Any info would be cool

i would go back and give it a try without setting anything new up. Ive tried the NLTS in V7 and did not really find it to be anymore helpful. If you FFS and do it fast i would be more then willing to bet you improve on those time. Maybe Fcon NLTS works bettter but with v7 the results are not that profound. GL

Is your trans giving you some grief? Sounds like its finicky going into gear or its just you taking it easy...
Good luck next time out

This is true. When youre out there on the streets tuning your in one gear and it spikes real easy. When you actually go through the gears the boost is lower till you get to 4th gear it seams.

Correct, you must, as far as I know this spring only came out 3 months or so ago. It is definitely a bit stiffer then the original "stiff" spring I had in my MBC...shoot them an email...
