At 1/8 track in Angleton ran 91.3 @7.9 with 1.9 60'.
Timing at wot in 1st and 2nd 18.6 to 22.9 until shift into 3rd at 63 mph.
Timing at 20.7 till end of pass.
Boost set at 23 lbs.
Launched at 3000 rpm, not sure of boost
Would advancing timing get better launch and e/t.


TE 63 turbo, 60 lb. injectors, fresh rebuild on engine and trans, 204/214 cam, Snow alcohol and 93 octane. tt chip, pp and controller, m/t streets
hooked up good.
Hoping for mid 7's and 94-94 mph
Any suggestions?
 
What fuel? What boost? Timing will help in most cases. You cant get too greedy though. Imo most dont run enough timing. The least i run is 24 in 1st/2nd and 22 in 3rd on alky and 93. With 110+ and alky i typically run 26-28 degrees advance on top of 25-28 psi in a 9.0:1 engine. Sounds like you need suspension work and tires more than anything.
 
No knock.
Car running very good on the low timing.
93 octane w/methonal injection, 23 lbs boost.
Suspension mostly stock. Alum. lower control arms.
No tire spin on launch but 60' time low. mph good, 115.3
Most research on this board says advance timing in 1st and 2nd.
Pulls much harder when hits 3rd.
Thinking I may advance to 23 or 24 and boost up to 25 like Bison.
I watch knock very close with Casper's gauge, Direct Scan and Scanmaster.
