Default Shakedown passes with the turbo setup

So I'm coming back from the gas station and figured it would be a great time to do another WOT run, roll off from the stop light to about 30mph and punch it, and as usual, bury the tach about as fast as I lift off the gas without breaking the speed limit and its just about as bad in second gear, I think it might be time for some better tires.

last night on 9 psi, we didn't get the camara to show up, but we played with a s2000 that has had some fun tearing down some other camaros, so we really tore him down, then he went home and got his GSXR 750 that he said he ran a 9.4 @ 160+ in Florida, same bike raced a twin turbo v8 syclone here that ran a 9.4 @ 150 and the bike fell to the rear of the truck, well, we raced the bike and it pulled about 6 to 7 car lengths on us, then when we looking at the log and I noticed that it ran rich as well as the tps was messing up so Boostaholic opened the hood to take a look, and noticed that we had blown the boost pipe off, so we looked at the log again and sure enough, we had run the bike with no boost and only got pulled on by 6 - 7 cars, so we threw it back together and went again, first run from a roll, about 50 mph we just put the car sideways and got out of it, second run from a roll again same speed, we rolled into the throtle, bike jumped ahead about two cars, we still spun about 200' in second, at part throtle, short shifted at about 5000 rpm's, grabed third, and still spun, finaly got enough traction to go wot at about 5000 rpm's and realed the bike in. Wish we would of had the camara, because all I can say is wow.

we are running 315's and when we went from a dig, we spun to just about the 660' short shifting to get into higher gears quicker, and still ran roughly 11's at 130+ on real street tires.

Thats about right, but the last run with the bike I started off in 3'rd gear not second, and it still spun so I backed off for a second and went into the throttle again.

ok, the run against the s2000 went like this after looking at the log.

13.34 @ 137 spinning to almost 660'
shifting to second at 4650 rpm's and -3 psi boost
shifting into third at 4750 rpm's and 1 psi boost
back pedled for .5 seconds because of bad wheel spin, in third
pulled from 3000 rpm's at -5.9 psi because of back pedling
boost hit 0 psi at 3300 rpm's, 7 psi @ 4000 rpm's, 8 psi @ 4650 rpm's
crossed the line at 6250 rpm's and 8.7 psi.

How can you computer calulate distance if you are spinning? Im not saying that you woudl be goin slower but exactly opposite. If you are spinnin that is time that you could have been accelerating. And if you aint accelerating then you are wasting time. So technically shouldnt you be doin alot faster trap speed? Cause the distance that the computer is sensing as a 1/4 mile is actually alot shorter as you aint covering all the ground ya odometer is reading. GL man and nice kill

We actually walked down the street, you could see where it shifted and we lifted on the throttle.
