I wouldn't be surprised, I looked at my spreadsheet of tuned cars and the BC consistently get the lowest numbers on comparable cars unfortunately.

Mario took my advice and stepped up from the HKS 272 cams and ARC air intake box to the Kelford 280 and Cone filter...boy did it wake up! still 93 octane 30psi
yeeeess... thanks Chris for all of your hard work and advise. The new setup is a success. words of wisdom to others......if you want to go fast do NOT run a ARC Box because it does NOT allow the turbo to breath very well. If you want to look good then run the ARC box. Thanks to Tab Fabrication for the awesome flowing header as well! Going to run my bros Z06 again and hopefully take him this time

the idle is ok but what can you expect when the cams have so much more lift...but the ECU is still learning. chris said the idle should get better as i drive the car more. the car sounds like it has a built motor with that lope.... the throttle response is waaaay better with the new filter. i went with an AMSOIL filter btw.. stock clutch is STILL holding on strong. lol....what kind of 1/4 mile time will the car run with like a 1.7 60ft or so? just curious if anybody would have an estimate?
