I got the laser running really good today. I checked my base idle timing and found it was as 0 degrees, I set that too 10 BTDC. Then I finished the re-wire on the fuel pump.
I decided to go down to PMI and try to better my Traps. My previous best was a 93.5mph @ 14.5 psi. Today i got a 98.3mph @ 16.5 psi. The traps just wouldnt go down cause as soon as i would leave the line the boost would build and the tires would spin faster than the car would move...Damn FWD:mad: .

One other thing is that my boost guage with the car off sits just under the first tick mark outside of the little box on the autometer guage, so im thinking that what ever my boost says to subtract about 1psi. If i was keeping it I would send it in to get re-calibrated, but a friend is buying it so why bother:rolleyes: .

Yep,you need traction. My best trap speed so far has been a 99.68mph but even at 98.0 I've run a 13.6.

Yah I saw that run and was really impressed with your trap speed! Just gotta get AWD or some slicks now ;).

I guess my traps are pretty good for the few mods i have and the stock exhaust, but AWD will come eventually.

Maybe if it run it in reverse...then i would have RWD.

Shit, their is no helping the launch on the laser. The weight transfer is crazy on it, and the tires are terrible. 1st gear gets wasted no matter what, and i cant power shift to 2nd or it continues. I can power shift to 3rd though cause of the clipping and stock exhaust, the turbo spools pretty slow.
