60" - 2.27
1/8 - 9.3 @ 80
1/4 - 14.25 @ 102.2
feels like I should have been shifting earlier.... should've been 13's, starting to wonder if I'm getting blow-by from valves or rings could be going out, hopefully I'll get a leakdown test here pretty soon to figure out what the hell. also I can't drive worth a shit and my tires are on the way out. mods - 3" turbo back, dual flex-a-lites, N/A Cam, mild port, no EGR, no AC, 6 puck, EBC set around 10 (creeps up to 11.5ish sometimes)

Cut that 60' to 2.1x and you're there. What rpm are you shifting at? I shift at around 6000, but I have a 60-1, so if you're stock turbo you may benefit from shifting a little earlier than that. Test it out with a couple of runs.

Man wth? I had a 2.1 60' and only pulled a 14.3 at 99. I'm awful at driving. Plus it was the first time I had been to the track, but still.

That just shows you were closer to your potential. If you get the same et with a lower trap, it points to the fact that you are doing it with less power, that's where the 60' comes in, nothing to worry about. If he pulled a 2.1 he would more than likely have in the neighborhood of 13.9 at 101 or there abouts.

my brother with just a straight dp was running 14.2's with a 2.3 60' due to FC in 2nd.

when that was fixed he ran 13.8 with 2.1 60's

honestly learn to get off the line better and youll be fine.

heh, yea I was taking it to red, so next time I'll shift around 5.9. Head work really does wonders. But I'm still trying to learn to balance between bogging and spinning. car weighs in at 3400 I believe.... or was it 32? But I realized also my vacuum plugs are starting to crack so my BOV started not working and I may've been loosing some boost or something.

I think an open Downpipe helps alot with top end. I ran a 13.7 @ 105mph with a 2.18 60'. Same amount of boost as the 14.3 run.
