Re:TURBO INTREPID AT TRACK :(
yikes... idk maybe its time to start making sure your not leaning out or somthing bad like that... You should be able to launch harder then that too... i get no traction in my N/A accord but with aired down tires (20psi) she turns 2.2-2.3 60 fts... not great but with your auto and a slight brake torque you should pull close to that

What is your setup?

hard to imaging that the gears in that thing suck that much..
but in other flaws, the higher you're building the revs in the upper gears the hotter the turbo is getting, the more unefficient the lack of intercooler is. Try water injection while you are at it.

Re:TURBO INTREPID AT TRACK :(
okay im gonna do it and see what happens. Tell me if this makes any sense. im driving home last night from my gfs house and this black 5.0 gt fox body stang pulls next to me and is screwing with me. So i decide why not and punch it. He punches it too. At first i got the jump on him but once i shifted into 2nd he started creeping on me a little bit. When we stopped he was a half car legnth ahead. Hes like "WHATS IN THAT THING? its pretty quick" i responded its turbo. lol I asked him if he ran at the track before and he said the best he ran yet is a 14.9. I was pretty proud of the trep but it all doesnt make sense.

track and street are totally different, my boys mustang runs mid to high 12s at the track all day, and my other boys hatch runs mid 13s to high 13s and my boys hath alwayz takes him on the street,remember its 2 totally different roads.btw that turbo feels like ---- in top end on a little 1.5dx so i can only imagine on your v6, change the turbo to a big 16g or big t3 bring the boost up 8-9psi,tuned the car,and i would not be surprise if you run high 14s.

Re:TURBO INTREPID AT TRACK :(
Those are not bad times if you think about it, 5psi took a whole second off your quarter mile, that's not bad if you compare it to what you started with. But like everyone else said get a bigger turbo and turn up the boost, I'm sure that v6 can take a good amount of boost.
