That pass was a 2.3 60', I just got rushed and launched on like 4psi. On my first run, I pulled a 1.8 60' on like 11psi. Both passes trapped 87 in the 1/8th.
I still think it should be faster. Look at your truck, you're heavier than me with less boost and a smaller turbo and you only when 4mph slower in the 1/4. Granted you have slightly more displacement, but still. I'll get to the bottom of it!

have you played with the timing? a few more degrees might really wake it up.
i wont tell you what to do, but when i was running e85 on my 5.3 setup i had it up to around 25* at ~25psi.... so im sure you would be safe pushing it a little more. but at the same time, although i never had it on a dyno, i felt it ran better with slightly less advance, i think i ended up around 20-21*
im also curious to see what it does with no IC. do you have a way to log pressure right at the turbo outlet vs. in the intake?

I haven't messed with the timing much yet. I was thinking that as well. I'll start with bypassing the FMIC and see what happens. I have a friend that lost like 200rwhp at the same boost level due to a **** intercooler.
