Its a bit laggy....but when it hits....IT HITS! I have seen full boost @ about 4.3k in 4th gear & 4.7k in 3rd gear on pump gas...
Its missing the great low end that was possible with the green....but being that I am more of a drag racer the 513whp is more appealing to me
I will be going this Friday....wish me luck
I hope the bottom end holds up and the axles stay intact

He was pretty lucky that he was able to run a 7.4 and allowed to run again with his current setup. He has a lot of mods ahead of him to stay within regulations.

So.....I went to the 1/8th mile Drag Strip and.....dang I suck launching the car with the new setup..I was bogging the car HARDCORE (I tried airing up the tires and slipping the clutch way more than I ever did with the FP Green but it just wasn't cutting it....it was just bogging...)..I was getting an average of 90-94mph trap speeds (which were kinda ok)....but horrible 60fts 2.5x+ that led to 9.xx runs 
....back to the drawing board Might be the prime time to invest in the Buschur launching aide....if this doesn't do it that I am just screwed! Lol!

With my FP Green my best was the following:
7.431 @ 94.73mph w/1.732 60ft
Props to you big turbo fellas that get a good launches and some awesome times! The bigger turbos aren't as forgiving as the stock frame turbos when even a slight bog is encountered...any launching tips are welcomed!

Get some damm small front breaks, some 15 x 7" rims with a set of M&H 24.5 X 8.5 X 15 slicks. You'll put less stress on the drivetrain vs. Drag Raidals, and OWN the 1/8 mile. Those are the same slicks that Mike Reichen used to cut a 1.38 60 ft, and similar to the ones Curt Brown ran on his EVO.

Yes to what he said. You have to bump up the launch rpm so when the clutch is engaged the rpm fall to where the turbo is making decent boost. Bump it up till your roasting the tires, then trim it back down till your just squeaking them enough to keep it on boost.
