pretty much every run id burn the top of 3rd at like 60 mph, then bog 4th, fall out of boost, jordan gets a bit of a lead, then i blow past him at like 120.

i think the low boost setting in 3rd is my best bet for tractions sake, thern rail 21 psi in 4th, and just ride from there.

Re: doing some runs with josh last night

let off it a bit when it spins in 3rd instead of just banging it into 4th...like ride it out a bit, just a suggestion

i wasn't serious about a t-25. lol. and i figured you were bogging and letting someone get ahead of you once you start because you were already brake boosting, but there was still too much lag. learn to brake boost, ***

Oh, so yours is badly out of alignment, too.

You did see the thread where I broke it down old school for Joshrex? And explained how his current setup versus my old gutted HF w/ LS and .60/.63 on a log manifold @ 9 psi was basically the same power to weight?

Yeah, you both have slow heavy ****** cars

Re: doing some runs with josh last night

Hmm, I remember Hotsex getting on me that I couldn't drive.

Takes time to get used to power you've never had before whether it be 200 or 400. Takes time. I was loosing tire in full boost/full throttle 1st at the track (no biggie) and the best advice I got and took was (I forget from who, some OG) "...don't smash the gas like a monkey...". Let up easy as it starts to spin in third. Just a thought like GhettoTurbo said.
