Default 8 Second Turbo C6Z

A lot of you may remember this car from a little while ago. It used to have the House of Boost F2 kit on it. We built a turbo kit for it last year and have been fighting with this car since we took possession of it. Finally figured out all the issues with the car and put a power glide setup in it. This pass was super easy as im just dialing the car in. Its on 18 psi total. Leaving on 8 psi and ramping to 15 psi in 1.6 seconds. I feel the car will go 8.4 or faster on 18 psi.

Drive didnt have anything to do with previous time... It was with the BS3 being junk, Trans shifting issues and a lot of other issues we have been fixing over the last 2 years.

Why the switch from the procharger to a turbo

If you don't mind me asking? Personal preference or other issues?
