What am I missing?

I'm running low 13's.

New PT52, 36# injectors, stock D5, THDP w/cat cut out, PTE 93 chip, 93 octane, P245's in the back. 1# launch. 15# of boost on the big end. 60ft is 1.95

My next purchase is a 3000 stall and then 50 lb injectors. I'm by no means stretching what I have. Some people are running low 12's on 36# injectors and I've read about many people run low 12's on the stock D5. My O2's are 800 at the 1/4. I don't have a EGT but I have no knock.

I am aware that I need to get my 60ft down. 1 tenth in the 60 is good for 2 tenth in the 1/4. What am I missing?

Still, a lot of people are running tons faster. I just can't seem to get anything else out of the car. Alky is coming soon too.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Your ET(with 60' corrected for 1.60) is not very far off from what it should be considering your combo. It sounds to me like you just need some tuning.

You should tune what you have before you start piling a bunch of aftermarket crap on it...

On a side-note, I was running 11.8's on 93 octane/alky on Nittos with a PTE52 3000rpm non-lockup stall, and 42.5lb injectors. 11.3's with slicks and C116.

You are missing Nittos/Slicks and race gas and race chip.

Or an alky. chip and alky. injection.

Both combos. allow more boost and timing, making power.

Not much you can do with a 93 chip and 93 gas. What you are running I think is rather normal.

Your next purchase won't get you much timewise but will certainly help with the drivability. Might want to consider a 3200 lockup.

If you don't get knock try another pound of boost.

EGT meter would help if you are going to start living on the edge of any type of combo.

Get some alky. on there and kick it up a notch. :)
 
No offence, but you currently have a very mismatched and unbalanced combo.

You have way too much turbo for the injectors and convertor you have.

As you already stated, 50's are needed and are a minimum. You might as well go with the High Z 57's and then you won't have to worry about injectors again until you're well into the 10's.

3000 stall is not enough IMO. You need something in the 3200-3400 range to make it enjoyable on the street and track.

Get some slicks for the track and use race gas and a race chip. Street tires and pump gas are like pissing in the wind. Your 52 turbo will really start to come alive when you get the boost up to 22psi and above. Below that it doesn't feel much different than a TA49.

Do this and say hello mid 11's.
