    As it should be.

    Because the 13T is not a large enough to turbo to accommodate a 10-second ~3900lb. car/driver in the 1/4-mile.

    ...and here we are, nearly four months later. Where's the 10-second pass?

    it's running, i had it at NG, wiring up my wideband to the ECU so I can log it, i have a rough tune right now, the boost controller Sin sold me was DOA, so it's only boosting 7 pounds right now, but it will happen soon,

    My only advice to you is to set incremental goals. I've seen way too many with lofty goals totally crash and burn to take this sort of thread seriously. In fact, I don't recall ever seeing one of these sort of hype threads turn out well.

    I didn't believe 13T's were capable of 10's in a full weight car... but I disagree now. After seeing VR3.9's numbers, high 10's should be attainable on E85.

    Not really sure what your point is. Did he make a hype thread? Either way, he's been working on that car for quite a while. It certainly wasn't as if he threw 13T's on it and it was suddenly fast. It almost never works like that with these cars. All I'm saying is temper your initial expectations...

    here is my first log, http://3000gt.com.au/Friends/dpartin...scorrected.csv the EGRT is my wideband, I'm looking for the formula to make it a useable function. but take a look at my IDC's I've never seen them climb like that before "at least take that long to climb" and @forest, it's stock less a Tcase brace and Diaqueen fluids.
