How's your track? Prepped good? They clean it often? Could slightly explain your issues with launching/bad times.

A poorly prepped track can actually create MORE spin than you'd see on the street, just an FYI. Also, other factors like ambient temp, tire psi, your technique, etc.

...but damn, dont you turbo guys have LC AND TC??? Shouldnt have a problem with spin with both of those, no?

Granny shifting, not double clutching like you're supposed to.

I also agree with terminator,
I trapped 111 mph with the trifecta 22 psi tune only, i would think the dashdaq thingy is not accurate.

You should at least trap 109 without trouble, and NLS from 2-3 and 3-4.

did you cut the boost in 1st? I did to 7.5psi and man I love this ****... I can FINALLY get out of the hole decently... ran a AWD TBSS and only got jumped by about a car, lol... which is great, before it would have been 2+... I was able to be back even with him by the end of 2nd... definitely not a bad thing for a FWD on street tires vs AWD... boost in 1st gear is useless anyway and in the ability of me to be able to get traction through 1st and chirp 2nd, i'll gladly give up the useless whp in 1st... its one of those things where with or without it, my car has no more whp, yet in run from a dig is MUCH faster with it... and i've had manual cars before, i've had fwd cars before... I was pulling 2.0-2.1 60's w/o the boost cut... but I honestly think this is the route to go, it just grabs and goes now

all the people who have rode with me before and after, agree as well

Where in Canada are you? Remeber our altitude is higher i.e. the air isn't as dense and the majority of our tracks suck. For example the Race City Track in Calgary has shitty prep, and the track isn't very smooth either as a result guys go down to the states with their cars (not SS/TC's) run a 12.9 come back run at race city and get a 14.1.

Last time I was at the track I ran a 14.6 at 100.7mph and a 60 foot of 2.59 also at an elevation of over 5k feet. I think our dragstrip is actually the highest in the US... Contis are toast they're down to the wearline (still waiting on my taxes so I can get some real tires) But even when the tires were in good shape I had myself and two other people trying and Just couldn't get the damned thing off the line. And for some reason at this elevation my balt is pushing and holding at 25lbs of boost. *shrugs* Hopefully Things get better with new tires ^-^

It just burns out through first gear and then once you hit second it falls on its face then just takes off like it just saw a hot peice of ass walk by in nothing but a dark blue thong.
