Default Finally ran her at 7psi

STS kit in and tuned. Was having a bitch of a time with 3rd gear, so I went to the track planning on running the 1/8mile (or as close as I could to the top of 2nd) The first pass I let off right after the 330' and ended up drifting across the 1/4 mile in 14.859@ 64.20. Second run, I let it shift into 3rd and let off for a second-second and a half, then blipped the throttle a few times to drift across at 12.247@ 98.49. Third run, I said "f-it". I was going to stay on her the whole way, and just let 3rd slip. Well there was no slipping, 3rd just decided it was going to take a vacation. It was gone. I let off and tried to blip it a few times but the car was just coasting. Went 13.021@81.22. I CAN'T WAIT to get a new tranny in. First gear feels like it did N/A, second is just sick, but every pass I let out by 100' before the 1/8, so I can't get a true 1/8 mile time to convert and get a ballpark E.T. I think she has 10.80's in her as she sits.
Oh yeah....87*F, 51% humidity, 29.95 Absolute barometric pressure. Not really "ideal" conditions for turbo cars.

4L60E....built by Cahall Performance Transmissions. Year Warranty. I figure if I break anything, it will be broken within a year. Also talked to a guy running low 11's. Been running the tranny for a year and a half with no issues at all. Sees the track every weekend.
