That time for stock is not bad at all, i would have to say its a combination honestly. With the trap speed you ran you should have had a lower ET BUT thats not horrible. With all your mods you should have trapped way higher. I would say practice your shifting, make sure your staying in the power band and not running it up to high and driving out of the power and get tuned again. Oh and warrtalon ran a even faster et than my 12.3 with that same trap speed. Food for thought there.

im only focusing on (2) things from your post.

1) 26psi w/ alcohol injection
2) 108mph trap speed

regardless of what you ran or how u drove... (assuming u didnt miss a gear and shifted decent) that is a really low trap speed for someone running that much boost and w/ alky/meth... Have you verified your whp on a dyno w/ a wideband?

what do you run w/ just 22psi and OFF the alky? because that is more in the neighborhood of what u ran... unless your map for the alky is off.. ?

I never ran at the track without alky i ran it stock and the way it is now. When i got it tuned i never got a dyno sheet thats what lead me to believe there is something wrong with the tune and thats why iam hear asking. I was not happy with the car and i drove it well(good launch, no missed gears and in the power band), it could have been better but it was alright, so thats why i wanted to find out what was the matter.

ok, then yeah... definately get on a dyno that has a wide band O2 to measure your air/fuel ratios during the pulls. deactivate the Alky/meth and turn your boost down to 22psi. Lets see what you pull. It should be in the high 290s to 300s if tuned decent on the parts you have. If anything lower the tune is probably off (or you might have other issues) But, stop the guess work... and find out for sure on a dyno. Usually like 75bucks for 3 pulls and they give you printouts etc. If they are wack, you should be able to submit these to your tuner and have them correct the flash. At least the printouts will tell you if something is wrong. Combine this w datalogs (evoscan) to read what your sensors see (especially KNOCK).

I have a feeling the car wasn't tuned optimum prior to the addition of alchy and now the high boost/alchy combo is just masking a bad tune. (meaning if noone knew you were running alchy and 26psi) they'd assume you were on par w/ a full bolt on EVO running 21-22psi. Running high 12s @ 108mph is what most guys do on boltons,flash,21-23psi... some guys w/ real good tunes or strong motors run even faster. Start there and once you fix that... then add the alchy/26psi and you'd probably be in the high 11s ! good luck bro...
