Default Car did much better at the track this time

Ran my car again Wednesday night, with the addition of a msd 2 step, and new line lock set up. It did a lot better, last time it was embarrassing only running a 8.3 et ( 1/8th mile track). This time I ran a best of 7.5 @ 96mph and 1.8 60ft. launching at 4K rpm. I need some more seat time, if I got a good launch in I'd miss 2nd gear, rookie lol. It was def fun. Car is a 98 Trans am with 76mm on3 turbo kit on 10 psi, ported 243 heads, blower cam, stock t-56 Trans, and 9" with 3.50 gear. I could def feel it grind going into 2nd most of the time, guess it's time to start saving for a beefed up 6 speed. Also have the innovate scg1 boost/ wideband gauge, not to big on the digital boost gauge, may be switching that up this winter.

I had problems with it boost spiking so I disconnected it and ran a mbc, but that didn't fix it. Ended up being my wastegate. It's a nice gauge, has boost, air/fuel, shift light and you can do data logging with it. It also can cut boost for safety too. I kinda like the old school analog sweep gauges, so I may be switching my set up this winter.

No I didn't get any videos and yes it is adjustable. Pretty easy install too, it had 2 dials on the side of the box you set your rpm at
