Where you using a progressive shot by chance? If so which one? I tried looking but didn't find one that can be boost referenced.

Run a C02 setup on the gate to help spool and build boost down low. Tune it. Why use the bottle? There are plenty of examples of Turbo cars cutting insane 60'fts with out the use of nitrous.

Call me a purist. I just dont see the need in the band aid.

Can you explain more about the c02 setup?

Look up the AMS-1000 boost controller.

We spray a 225 shot on our Supra to get it to launch with an 88mm with a TH400. Basically we set up the low side outputs to trigger the nitrous when we are on the trans brake and up to 28 psi.

The car has cut 1.29 60' times and gone 8.15@163 on the stock IRS with a 28X11.5 ET drag.

i heard this ams-1000 has like a built in traction thing. so if your tires spin it will cut boost to help you get the best power to the gorund with out spinning. is this true?

Have you looked into running a meth kit?

C02 system pressurize the WG to keep it close under boost to aid in building more boost. They are controlled by an soleniod that is in turn controlled by the tunning software. You can ramp your boost on a curve just like you would your timming. It helps aid in both traction, power production, the works.
