ok warttalon give me some advice! 1/4 times...
here are my results from a test and tune day at the local track!
1st run was in the morning with a horrible reaction time!
1.0278----reaction
1.7893----60 ft
7.7083--et @ 594 ft
8.2412----1/8 et
84.44----1/8 mph
13.0203---1/4 et
103.16---1/4 mph
Now this is the last run more towards noon when it was a little warmer
.6640---reaction
1.7891---60 ft
7.9190---et @ 594 ft
8.4739---1/8 et
81.08----1/8 mph
13.3449--1/4 et
102.04---1/4 mph
some of the times in the second run are faster but the 1/4 mile time doesnt add up! you know more than i do and maybe can give me some advice for next time! i dont drag race that often and this is my second time ever! my best reaction was .5640 and my best 60 ft was the 1.7891 above! any advice from anyone would help thanks!
my mods are tbe w/ testpipe, drop in k&n, mbc, fuel pump, forge recirc., and an eflash for 93 but ran this with same flash on 110 with boost turned up to about 25psi.! It was also about 75 degrees when i left the track and cooler in the morning! plus i have 18" wheels with about 35 psi in tires(falken azenis rt615)!

well for your trap speeds those times arent really all that bad.. a constant 1.7 is good even if it is high 1.7's. Its hard work to pull off non stop 1.6 60 fts. But i did run the same times stock.. so i might question your cars power. But then again soo many factor will vary your trap speeds.. head wind, humidity, heat, all these things. Also why r u using 110 octane.. were u mixing it to blend it down to somthing else? Or did u put this in over an empty tank for a tru 110 oct.. and if soo, thats far more octane then needed.

There's a definite problem. Your car is very slow. The driving is GOOD, but the power is LOW. That mph is indicative of stock or near-stock power, but you were at 25psi on race gas, so it's even worse than if you had a few mods and were on pump gas. Your mods are good, and it's ok to run 24-25psi on race gas, but you have some other problem like a boost leak or slipping clutch.
You should do both a boost leak test then a compression test. Trapping 103 and less is just very weak...

Find out on a dyno - that's how you know. Or play with your shift points to find what's optimum by analyzing each split on the timeslip.
Knowing how to do a boost leak test is of critical importance when owning a turbo'd car, especially one where you run a lot of boost and have lots of mods. Do a search for pressure test or boost leak test to find the write-up here on EvoM.

my 18's weigh about 23 pounds per wheel and i havent dynoed my car for it yet but flash came from dynoflash so it should be good... its just an e-flash to though so that might make it different!
