I'll preface this with the fact that I don't have much seat time doing this and I may be way off base but......
Installed a Powerlogger logger recently and took the car to the track last night. I was real slow (8.55 in the 1/8) and had terrible 60' times (2+). I have only made two runs in the car before last night but did better that time (7.9 in the 1/8) Last night, it felt like the car was really slow off the line and then "kicked in" a little ways down the track. What I think I see on the PL file is that it took 2.7 sec for the turbo to spool up from 1.7 psi at launch to about 20 psi. That seems like a really long time and I don't remember it feeling that way the first time at the track. I don't know for sure about the combo in the car but per PO it has a TE53 turbo, 3200 stall converter and 60# injectors. PL file is attached, I hope.
Am I seeing that spool time correctly? Any other observations would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Charles
