BOV help if your leaking boost, they retain boost through the entire power band.

Mike, those were some awesome runs, sounds like you need better tires though. You roast them as soon as you get off the two step. 12.4 is still damn fast. and i'm sure with some more practice, you'll cut that time down dramatically. What i do suggest is you dyno tune, as oppose to the mail in flash. For some reason, dyno tune, are more specific to the car and the trims, and always seem to be able to squeese more power.

The videos are awesome, keep us posted.

P.s at what are you shifting? and are you dogboxing? or gently shifting? sounds like your being gentle down the track when you shift.

yea my tune is a little lacking. The car should trap 118-119 but the car was consistantly pulling 114-115. The tires are not spinning on my car it is the other cars your hearing. I only spun tires one run and the car kicked sideways slightly.

dyno tune FTW... a mail in tune (in my experience) is basically the lowest level of tune you can have.... mail in - street - dyno. so i think you could prolly be running very very low 12's if not break the 11's.

Wow the statement of the year! Don't you think he knows that, there happens to be 0 respectable dynos around here. If their were it would be the first thing we would do, not waste our time on mail in crap.
