1st pass on turbo
I made my first pass at the track with my truck. I only got 1 pass in because track was busy and it took forever to get that one pass in. I didn't leave with enough boost from the line and got a terrible launch. Then when the boost did hit I spun quite a bit and pedaled it about 3 or 4 times. To very unimpressive 12.99 @ 121.34 mph. I was only going 92 mph at the 1/8 mile from spinning the tires too much so for me to get to 121 at the 1/4, I don't think that's too bad. I was on 14psi of boost and once I get my new 2.5 map sensor we're upping the boost some more. So I think the truck should have a 10 sec pass in it if I learn how to drive the damb thing and can get down the track without spinning too much.

I know tire spin effects ET a lot more than MPH but I'd like to think if I had launched better and not spun and lifted as much as I did, more mph by the 1/8 mile would translate over to more mph in the 1/4 mile. Maybe someone with more track time would know if it works like that. All that said yeah I was pretty happy with the 121 mph as long I can improve on it.

I can definitely spool my turbo up with less throttle but I believe my converter is too loose to take full advantage of it. The only time it really makes a noticeable difference for me is when I'm part throttle cruising down the freeway with the converter locked.
