Sunny and 75 degrees today, so I decided to take the Buick to the track. It's an 1/8 mile track and my #'s are as follows:

60 ft: 1.66
330 ft: 4.84
ET: 7.58
MPH: 89.42

The first half of the pass was at 18 psi boost, then the boost creeped up in the 2nd half to about 21 psi. No knock.

5psi launch with about a 3 second burnout (i like to keep them brief).

I'm happy with the ET, but a little disappointed with the MPH. I'm getting a lot of torque converter slippage (23%), so that may be the issue.
 
cant really judge slippage much in the 1/8th mile, it hasn't got the rpms up high enough to really start coupling. At 25 psi the car would probably be around 96-97 mph. 11.90s on pump gas and 18 psi isn't too shabby
