Well, I only ran it once with the TE-60. I had all kinds of problems that night too. I ran a race chip (K-B hot flash) so I think the richness of the chip killed my spool-up. I couldn't launch with more than 3 psi. Then it would hold steady at 5 psi all the way through first and halfway through second. Then all of a sudden the boost would rise to what I had it set at. I ran from 19-21 psi on 93 octane with 5 gallons of Xylene. Needless to say with all these problems I was running consistent mid 9s to low 10s in the 1/8. My best was a mid 14 in the 1/4 and worst was a high 15. I realized the next day that I was letting off way too soon to make the first turn-off. I noticed this when I checked my timeslips and saw a 20 mph drop from the 1/8 to the 1/4. A former friend of mine was with me and laughed at my times but seeing all the problems I was having and even the huge mph drop from the 1/8 to the 1/4 I thought 14s to 15s was pretty good. I haven't been back with my new combo ( haven't even tuned it yet or got it on the road yet) but I may try it soon. My combo that night was:
Atr 14" cold air kit, TE-60, ESP f/m, 009s, ATR 3" d/p (no exhaust), Walbro 307 w/ boost-a-pump and K-B hot flash chip. I have since added a TE-63-1, rebuilt (.030 w/ forged pistons) engine with CC 206/206 cam and 980 springs, self-ported heads with 3 angle valve job and bigger stainless valves, power plate, SMC alky kit, Cotton's single shot exhaust and new tires and rims. If I can tune it for 11s in street trim then I'll be happy.
