Default well here it is at the track
we broke the true st record on our 3rd pass with our small little turbo.we ran a 177.8 mph at 9.9 sec.we had traction problems like crazy.that was roasting the tires off the line and pedaling down the whole track.wait till we get the traction issues sorted out and put on the serious turbo we have sitting on the shelf!

lolz @ your scan.

Damn, car definitely wasn't leaving super hard. What do you expect it to 60' once its dialed in on a nice track? I was shorting 1.50s on a shitty track day in my car and was rather disappointed. I know your still getting used to the beast

at about .05-1.0 sec the turbo was making like 30 lbs of boost so it just kept roasting the tires off like crazy so we are changing a bunch of stuff in of 3 stage boost control and we hope that helps to solve the problem
