I think your Goals are set to low..

Turn it up and get it in the 10s


hard to gauge potential on what I did but it runs great and you have the right parts.

Most likely, if you don't get deep into the 11s it's because you are still learning to Tune it.

the biggest problem I see is Launching the car.

no trans brake and a tight converter.

hope you have good brakes

and unless you lay off the dohnuts you'll need the boost over 30 psi

You'll need more than that to beat brad...

you gotta leave at 15 psi or more.
