Realistically my first track runs 2 months ago were 10.6 to 11.45 in the 1/8 th which is the only track we hqve around here. Im hoping i can run about a9.6 to 103. at 16 lb boost which i think is max for 15 g hpt . Fuel cut from what i gather is at 16lb @3600rpm . Corrext me if im wrong though please. The fun part about it is at 45 mph ill hit the vas and the tires will spin. All stock pistons and rods so i really need to be careful. After all the work id really hate to screw the motor now coz im out of money.e

Last time I ran, I got a 10.2 in the 1/8th. Still stock.

If you break traction at 45mph, you're producing a ****load of torque! Turn down the MBC a notch or two or go easy on the throttle (which is not an option), so turn down the boost, or get an ECU tune..peace of mind.

Good luck.

Hey that will be good! I ran a 9.8 @ 72mph with a 2.3 60'. So you should be around there! Brake boost launch at about 2000 rpm found that to be good. Get staged and go!
