Took the car to the track last night to give it a shot on street tires before running it with slicks. Traction as I figured was a big issue. Tried setting the boost by gear but no matter how low in boost I went 1st through 4th. I went with 7psi for 1st and 2nd, 10psi in 3rd and 4th gear and then 13psi in 5th. This motor makes soo much torque that it just rips the tires apart with anything close to full throttle in any gear. Even 5th was breaking the tires loose at 120+mph. I absolutely love this setup and excited to see what it can do on slicks even as is. So far im on my own tune, very conservative. Leaned the a/f's out to 11.5:1 in boost and zero knock. No timing added in yet. It was basically throttle modulation every gear but 5th. Literally launching on 1/4 throttle and 1/4 throttle in 1st and 2nd. 1/2 throttle in 3rd and 4th. and then full throttle in 5th.
Here is the slip. I think I could have gotten it to an 11.7 or so with a perfect pass.
Next time out ill be on a better manifold and slicks. My manifold cracked again on the added on wastegate tube.
Not only cracked but split wide open and barely hanging.
