12.85 @ 114

Man my converter killed me. Nice to see the MPH is there though. Should have raced with my TE-44 before buying the 6152, probably would have been a lower ET.

I sat with the green light staring me in the face for a while trying to build boost, thus the terrible reaction time. Might have hit a pound or two of boost, not much at all. Really dogged until the boost hit around 40' out, then it took off like a shot.

I'm thinking about going back to a smaller turbo because I really don't feel like pulling the trans again. I could spool about 7-9 psi on my 44 on the footbrake.

Oh I'm more than aware it should be way faster ET with the 114 mph, definite 11's potential. The bright side is the power is there.

Boost231 you are absolutely right, I just have a hell of a time saving up
