turn the boost up(free), throw a dump on it(40.00), some race gas(6.00 gal), drag radials(160 each new/buy used ) and run some mid to low 13's!!

$6 a gallon? What test?

How do you turn up the boost

Unhook the wastegate rod, turn it in a couple turns and reattach it. Assuming you have a threaded rod and a scan tool.

Hey, you got to start somewhere. I bet it was pretty empty there since the weather that day was so iffy. Check around for some used mods. There's plenty of things you could do very inexpensively to get into the low 13s...

Yeah it was dead that night.i got 9 run's in.best run was 14.61.&best lite was .008

Check the for sale section. Before you go racing again you should get a Scanmaster. It could save you major money in the long run by checking if you got knock and make sure your tune is correct. Good ways to get faster.

About 11 years ago a nice girl and her brother suggested the same thing to me, "don't race without a scantool & boost gauge" Less than a month later I was rebuilding my first 3.8. It will be your best investment. Get a scantool, Boost gauge, adjustable Wastegate actuator & adjustable FP reg and take your time tuning. I would contact Grumpy and see what he has for used stuff.
