Default First time at track

Took the car to the track tonight and the best I could muster was a 15.129 at 92.64 mph. With the mods I have I was expecting more but the bad driver mod is ftl. I 60' at 2.388 and at the 1/8 mile I was at 9.80 at 74.73 mph. My mods include a ported big valve head, 3rd gen bob's log, la3 swap, stinger 3 inch exhaust slightly ported lower intake, fpr (set at stock for now) and a boost controller (not sure of exactly how much boost I am making till i get my autometer guage on) I am maxing out the stock guage and the buzzer is going off so I am at least at 17.5 psi. Times were slower than I expected but oh well...


And for anyone who doesn't know the svo is a turbocharged/intercooled 2.3

you are one mighty brave individual running an unknown amount of boost....also, youre running extra boost, but stock fuel pressure? do you have any idea if youre rich or lean?

The Trap Speed says 14.5....That 14.5 would need something like a 2.01 60' though.
Based on your description of the state of tune their could be a fair number of horses yet to be found.

Yea rotm I upped my fuel pressure today and it runs way smmother and pulls way harder with more fuel (talked with another svo guy). I know the general amount of boost it is just the stock svo guage is kinda innacurate, It should be in the 19-21 psi range, I have a widenband and an accurate boost guage going in the car on monday so we will see exactly where I am
