My riding lawn mower would so pwn you in a race! J/K

I'll get some shots of the wheels on the car as soon as I get it back, I hope it looks okay.

I didn't get to where I am overnight, I bought the car in Jan 2007 with 14k miles.

dont really have the time to read through the 47 pages at the moment, but can you tell me what kind of gears you are running and how much of a difference over stock its making on your 1/4 mile time? For example, a gear swap in my Mustang from 2.73's to 3.55's cut almost a second off my 1/4 mile time.

The video i watched in your sig seems like the gears are really short and you are in 5th gear by 2/3 track but guess not...ill read through this thread today at work and get a better idea of what you have exactly going on with the car. either way nice driving and you do amazing work with evos...i always enjoy reading your posts and look forward to what you are going to try next.

often that first "shift" is actually my letting off the gas for a split second to stop the ridiculous wheel spin When I was at ~500awhp and lifting to shift I went through the traps at 125mph in 4th gear and now at ~600awhp I'm going through in 4th gear at 9000rpm and 135mph not lifting to shift.

thanks for the compliments, glad you're enjoying the posts!

ok, I answered in PM but will post here so everyone has the benefit of the answers...

jspec was asking about my Greddy Profec B Spec II settings.

My settings are for the HTA86 at 32psi so you'll want to start of much lower while tuning.

set % - 62% = 29psi 65% = 31psi But on my HTA35R it took 72% = 32.5psi

gain % I think mine is 5-8 at the most (car isn't here)

start boost 26psi (I don't want the wastegate to see any boost until 26psi so it doesn't open prematurely)

warning 36psi (I see 35.1psi on power shifts)

limiter -10% so if I hit the warning it'll lower the duty cycle 10% and bring the boost down some.

Daniel Buschur called and said the input shaft and first gear is hosed badly among other things so the input shaft is on order and should arrive late Friday, I think he's going to start rebuilding it Monday
