i think 14.5 with a ca for your first time at the track is decent.

I am hoping for 14 flat on 8 lbs on Sr turbo, so thats pretty good. Get a boost controller and keep practicing!!!! good Job.

Thanks. I do have an sr20 ARC smic. Stock turbo stock piping and a walbro pump with out an aftermarket pressure regulator(pig rich). It launched very good and pulled hard through first, then once out of the concrete launch box, I got into second and it spins for a few tenths of a second then grabs... I think if I could control it better, and turn the boost up to about 13-14 pounds I may be able to pull off a high 13, low 14. Before I go does anyone have some advice, Im going again tomorrow.

Lower your tire pressure to about 20-22psi.

Will that cup the tires or seperate them, they only have about 100miles or so on them? Im hoping to get around a 14.2 or a lil lower, if it doesnt rain tomorrow then Im gunna go then,. I have a manual boost controller that Ill hook up out there and put it to about 13-14 pounds and see what that does. thanks again
