IMO if you can Launch on boost.. rather then waiting for it... your MPH should get higher. And if you can put the power to the ground without breaking any traction this should bring down your 60foot. End result i believe mid to high 13.

Abit optimistic? Have to do so much thing's mention above to run a "decent" time.

As i said.. I BELIEVE... its not JUST one thing that leads to success. Its the combination of lots of small things that all add up to get the best results.

And no its not optimistic. Its been proven time and time again... just go search on honda-tech, D-series.org and turbod16. But i suppose we are in Australia... and well apparently to some people that changes everything.

I think it is near on impossible for luke to launch on boost with the tyres he is running,saw him everytime just sitting on the line spinning with what sounded like minimal boost from the return road.

Yeah I don't need any more power that's for sure lol Maybe less would help me at this point

Even when I didn't lunch at all I still got wheels spin in first and second!

I think wheels are the main problem, these Ling Longs have cracks in them after only two years so I'd say there are very hard rubber

Yes well. This is the point of a "Test & Tune"

To test your setups (find out its strengths and weaknesses).. in lukes case.
weaknesses - experience, power delivery and the unability to efficiently controll boost, excess weight

Then TUNE your setup (change / alter) to help remove this weaknesses. which i have stated above.

If luke cannot launch his car on full boost.. he needs a wheel and tyre setup that will alow him to do so.

You gotta learn to peddle it. launch higher, ride the limiter. 1/4 in a NA and 1/4 in a turbo are totally differnet things.

Your MPH is a bit low, your 17s arnt helping that. Maybe the toda dyno is a bit optimistic? From the sounds of it, your having a ignition blowout or maybe a fueling issue. Get that sorted. But other then that, its to be expected on your first time out.

We can clearly see that ben has alot less weight. Making 100mph on a stock motor is an acheivement, but weight is the key. That and your 60ft, Drop .3 up top and u will drop .9 down the end of the track.

[Weq]

also not your MPH will drop once ur 60ft goes down.

Are u holding boost through till red-line yet? It seems like ur down on power. Or are your wheels really china spec, 16kgs each style?

china spec? you mean crap?

Still no EBC is no but boost holds OK 10-11ish then about 9ish 6 ground on

[fatboyz39]

keep trying. Get out there every week and practice. That is the key to achieving some nice ET's. People giving advice and etc is good, but its up to you to get out there and practice.

[Lukezen27]

I've been reving out to 7200 on each run but my cam only makes power too 6800

Might change gears at 6700 yeah?
